The purpose of CERT is to promote civility and respect by educating our community and empowering those affected by alleged incidents related to issues including, but not limited to, bias, hate, or discrimination.

CERT will not investigate or adjudicate student conduct cases or issues of state or federal law. The team will not hold individuals or groups responsible for violating the Student Conduct Code or the law, as that is the role of Student Conduct or local authorities. Instead, our focus is on supporting and advocating for those affected, connecting students, faculty, and staff to resources, and informing and educating the larger campus community.
