(Photo\/Greg Hernandez)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>The full text of the commitment appeared on giant screens set up in Alumni Park, but Allard encouraged the group to take some time to read it more carefully later in their Student Handbook.<\/p>\n<p>The commitment is also posted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/studentaffairs.usc.edu\/studentcommitment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Affairs website<\/a> and will be referenced on digital screens throughout campus and in student residences.<\/p>\n<p>&#147;Nearly three years ago, it was students &#151; working alongside faculty, staff, administration and many others across our community &#151; who began a journey to redefine our core USC values,&#148; Allard said. &#147;I&#146;m excited to share with you one of the fruits of that hard work.&#148;<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ooc.usc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USC Office of Culture, Ethics and Compliance<\/a> invited students, staff and faculty to participate in a values poll. More than 9,000 students took part in the survey, which was followed by 60 student discussion sessions. Other sessions were held with faculty and staff.<\/p>\n<h2>USC student commitment: A catalyst for discussions<\/h2>\n<p>In all, nearly 20,000 Trojans participated in the process that resulted in 2020&#146;s <a href=\"https:\/\/culturejourney.usc.edu\/explore\/unifying-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six unifying values<\/a>, followed the next year with a reimagined and closely aligned <a href=\"https:\/\/policy.usc.edu\/code-of-ethics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USC Integrity and Accountability Code<\/a> for faculty and staff. The student commitment is being issued to bring awareness of those values and to serve as a catalyst for discussions about university culture and what is expected from students.<\/p>\n<p>&#147;Culture can mean different things to different people,&#148; Allard said before speaking at the convocation. &#147;Not every student will interpret the unifying values or the commitment statements in exactly the same way, and that&#146;s OK &#151; our diversity is a strength. The important thing is that students understand that the student commitment reflects principles that are the backbone of the culture we all contribute to at USC.<\/p>\n<p>&#147;If every student embraces the commitment in a way that is meaningful to them, it will give us shared language, help bind us together as a community and offer us guidance when confronting complex challenges.&#148;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The <a href=\"https:\/\/studentaffairs.usc.edu\/studentcommitment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USC student commitment<\/a>:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We act with integrity in all situations.<\/li>\n<li>We work to foster a safe, civil and equitable campus environment where well-being matters.<\/li>\n<li>We treat each other with respect, even when we have differences.<\/li>\n<li>We are accountable for our actions and decisions.<\/li>\n<li>We believe that diversity &#151; of experiences, cultures, identities and perspectives &#151; is a cornerstone of our community.<\/li>\n<li>We value honest, open communication and robust debate.<\/li>\n<li>We strive for excellence in rigorous learning and in all scholarly, scientific, professional, artistic and athletic endeavors.<\/li>\n<li>We champion ideological diversity and embrace freedom of expression.<\/li>\n<li>We refuse to engage in discrimination, harassment and hate in any form and on any platform.<\/li>\n<li>We avoid taking part in behavior that may be harmful to ourselves or others and offer\/seek support if we witness dangerous behavior from our peers.<\/li>\n<li>We promote a culture in which people do not rush to judge others.
