Seahawk Respect Compact   In the pursuit
of excellence, UNC Wilmington actively fosters,
encourages, and promotes inclusiveness, mutual
respect, acceptance, and open-mindedness among
students, faculty, staff, and the broader
community. We affirm the dignity of all
persons. We promote the right of every person
to participate in the free exchange of thoughts
and opinions within a climate of civility and
mutual respect. We strive for openness and
mutual understanding to learn from differences in
people, ideas, and opinions. We foster an
environment of respect for each individual where
differences are celebrated by the elimination of
prejudice and discrimination through education
and interaction with others. Therefore, we
expect members of the campus community to honor
these principles as fundamental to our ongoing
efforts to increase access to and inclusion in a
community that nurtures learning and growth for
all.
