Staff Council Community Agreement

Staff Council's Community Agreement was developed with Kent State University's core values of respect, compassion, and inclusiveness in mind.

• We are committed to mindful non-verbal communication that is engaging, kind, and considerate.
• We will show up ready to fully engage by asking questions and communicating what we learn from our individual departments.
• We will build a space in which everyone has the opportunity to speak without interruption.
• No one person (or few people) will dominate a conversation.
• We will strive to provide opportunities to engage in small group discussions.
• Every individual’s perspective holds significance and is regarded as equally valuable.
• We will be open to new ideas. If we disagree, we will disagree with the idea and not the person to avoid creating a hostile environment.
