糖心logo在线入口 (the 鈥淯niversity鈥) seeks to provide a community for faculty, staff and students that promotes personal growth and development in a safe and welcoming environment. The University is committed to the belief that respect for the rights and dignity of all people must be protected. This goal is an integral part of all aspects of University life, rooted in our Jesuit Catholic identity, and is essential to our academic community. 听
Therefore, members of the community are supported and encouraged, when they wish to do so, to express a preferred name and to identify pronouns that they would like others to use when referring to them. Similarly, there are a number of occasions when someone uses a last name other than their legal name in professional settings, and so members of the community may also designate a professional name.
The Procedures delineate in which situations the University will use legal names and in which preferred or professional names. Consistent with the University value of demonstrating respect for the rights and dignity of all people, all members of the University community are encouraged to demonstrate respect for others by using the addressee鈥檚 preferred and professional names and/or expressed pronouns.

This policy shall promote accountability and stewardship by the Users of University SPACE. 听Users of SPACE may provide input into the use of SPACE; however, the University Space Committee is the final decision-making authority.
All SPACE is property of the University and is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws inclusive of fire codes, regulations, and rules. If a conflict arises between this Policy and federal, state, or local laws, then the applicable laws shall govern. 听
All SPACE is subject to assignment, reassignment, and redevelopment to meet the overall needs and best interest of the University and the members of the University community.

Long-range planning for optimum use of these valuable, essential University assets is a continuing process.
- Delegation and reallocation of SPACE is necessary in order to sustain the physical plant and support the University鈥檚 Strategic Plan and priorities.

- SPACE assignments and decisions for improvements or investments in SPACE shall be aligned not only with the University鈥檚 Mission and core values (including holistic care for the person), Strategic Plan, and established priorities but also with available resources.
The University SPACE Committee has the right to delegate use and stewardship of SPACE to other entities, as it deems acceptable, and can reassign responsibilities as necessary. 听It is the expectation that these stewards establish guidelines and procedures for the use of SPACE in keeping with this SPACE policy. The University maintains a SPACE inventory. 听Classification and allocation of SPACE, although not completely comprehensive, is described in Appendix A. 听The names and responsibilities of these stewards may be amended as needed from time to time by the University SPACE Committee and serve here to further describe this policy.
Utilization of learning SPACE will be determined in pursuit of innovative teaching and University Learning Goals across the entire student experience. Utilization of all SPACE will be determined in pursuit of optimum allocation, utilization, and operation and strive for the maximum benefit of available resources with consideration for individuals affected.
Use, assignment, and scheduling of SPACE shall be compatible with SPACE type (as the SPACE is designed, operated, and defined by HEGIS codes) for the health, safety, welfare, and maximum benefit of the University Community.
SPACE usage and assignments shall promote fiscal responsibility and University sustainability by considering the short and long-term costs attributed to SPACE.
SPACE will be allocated and assigned to specific users. 听SPACE can be allocated or assigned to groups or individuals on a short term/temporary basis or for longer periods of time.
Specific procedures and guidelines for the use of SPACE shall be the responsibility of the designated stewards of University SPACE and as approved by the University Space Committee.
Only the University Space Committee may authorize a change to the use type of a SPACE (change to the HEGIS code category) or approve major reconfigurations of a SPACE.
Faculty and staff members may generally only occupy one office SPACE on campus regardless of multiple responsibilities assigned or operating in multiple capacities on campus.
The contents of SPACE, including furnishings and equipment, are covered by separate policies.

In making determinations under this policy, the University also seeks to act consistently with the University鈥檚 Jesuit Catholic heritage, which encourages the University to pursue differing perspectives that bring us to the margins of human experience in service to the truth.

This policy also does not apply to job candidates who are giving a presentation as part of the hiring process, guests appearing on W糖心logo在线入口 programming, or to Commencement speakers, who are approved through Advancement and the Senior Leadership Team.

The University may exercise discretion and take appropriate actions to address such violations, including but not limited to cancellation of the event and/or removal of violators of law or any University policies. 听
The Sponsor of an External Speaker or Event must comply with the procedures outlined in this policy to host External Speakers or Events either on University property or at off campus events sponsored by the University.
In order to promote civil discourse in an environment that is committed to welcoming diverse viewpoints, the University may require that the speaker or event be facilitated by a person approved by the University.
The University reserves the right to reschedule, relocate, or cancel an External Speaker or Event if a speaker or event creates a public safety concern; disrupts University operations; violates a University policy; or uses the event as a platform to denigrate the Jesuit Catholic identity or mission of the University. Any invitation to an External Speaker or Event extended by a Sponsor may be rescinded by the University if it is determined that hosting the proposed speaker or event will disrupt safe and orderly campus operations, or would be in violation of this policy or another University policy.听
