A Message from the Norwich Board of TrusteesThe following resolution was moved, seconded and unanimously passed by the members of the Board of Trustees voting on Friday, April 27, 2012 for distribution to the Norwich family: NORWICH UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STATEMENT The Board of Trustees has reviewed recent events surrounding Pride Week, held on campus March 26-30, 2012. The Board has never questioned the formation of the club and its members. However, certain events, processes and communications related to the week were not in keeping with Norwich traditions and values. The Board acknowledges the wide variety of comments and communications received from the Norwich Family about this issue and is thankful for everyone’s input and support of our mission. The Board affirms our commitment to provide a campus that is open and respectful of all students, free of any discrimination. The Board acknowledges that more appropriate guidance should have been given in the planning, naming and content of some of the events, and how they were announced. All activities of student clubs will be in alignment with our Norwich values and traditions. The Norwich virtues of courage, honesty, temperance, and wisdom remain as the guideposts for all individual and institutional behavior and activities.
The Board unanimously supports and is confident in the leadership of Gordon Sullivan as our Chairman and Richard Schneider as our President. We look forward to their continued leadership to guide the growth and development of our university for the benefit of our students, our graduates, and our Nation.
