Capital University is an institution committed to Christian values and to the development of individual potential. The members of our campus community must respect all persons regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, age, religion, disability or sexual orientation. While we realize that that acts of intolerance may be the result of ignorance and that a significant part of our mission is to confront ignorance with education, we cannot allow these acts to harm another person. In the same sense that we are called to support the mission of Christian higher education, we are also called to commit our energies and resources to the continual task of combating both subtle and obvious intolerance.  

Capital University regards as unacceptable conduct on the part of its students, faculty, and staff, words or actions that are intended to be, or that are reasonably forseeable to be threatening, intimidating, or harassing to any member of the university community including guests and contracted service employees on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, age religion or handicapping condition.

Human Dignity Resource Associates are trained members of the faculty and staff who are available for conversations with students who feel they have experienced harassment, discrimination, hate crimes or other acts of intolerance. If you or someone you know, feel you have experienced intolerance, resource associates are available to provide support and provide information on available resources. While resource associates cannot guarantee confidentiality, they assist in a capacity in which they are respectful of student rights and the appropriateness of information sharing.
