Community Living
Pittsburg State University is a community of persons
from diverse geographical, cultural, racial, and ethnic
roots. Each person is a unique individual, drawn
from the broad spectrum of our society. We must
each strive to understand the individuality and life
choices of those among us. We can best learn from one
another in an atmosphere of positive encouragement
and mutual respect. As we engage in our daily activities
and interactions, we must possess a genuine desire to
learn from others. In addition, we must give others the
respect and acceptance which we, ourselves, desire.
The principles of free exchange and open inquiry are
fundamental to the educational process. University
Housing is committed to these principles. We believe
individuals have the right to hold, defend, and express
