Culture of Respect
Wildcats Build a Culture of Respect
At CWU, we are committed to fostering a community where respect is the cornerstone of all our interactions.
Together, we can ensure that all members of our community feel valued by treating Wildcats how they want to be treated—the #CrimsonRule.
Living Our Values
Central Washington University believes that a diversity of peoples, cultures, and ideas are essential to learning, discovery, and creativity, as well as nurtures authentic relationships built on mutual respect, responsibility, and reciprocity. By actively seeking consent, respecting boundaries, and stepping up when you witness harm or believe others need help, you have the power to shape a culture of respect and belonging on our campus.
Wildcats Get Consent
Regardless of the type of interaction, always ask for permission and respect the answer given.
Wildcats Respect Boundaries
Regardless of the type of interaction, always ask for permission and respect the answer given.
Wildcats Step Up
Small actions can have a big impact. Take action, offer support, and be part of the solution when others need help.
