Statement on Principle of Diversity
Wake Forest University is a community of men and women that
seeks the enlightenment and freedom which come through diligent
study and learning. Its higher goal, however, is to give life
to the University motto “Pro Humanitate,” as members
translate a passion for knowledge into compassionate service.
The community shares a tradition that embraces freedom and
integrity and acknowledges the worth of the individual. The
heritage, established by the school’s founders and nurtured
by succeeding generations, promotes a democratic spirit arising
from open-mindedness and discourse.
Wake Forest fosters compassion and caring for others. Its collective
strength and character are derived from the values and distinctive
experiences of each individual; therefore, it affirms the richness
of human intellect and culture and its contribution to knowledge,
faith, reason, and dialogue. Furthermore, it strives toward
a society in which goodwill, respect, and equality prevail.
To that end, Wake Forest University rejects hatred and bigotry
in any form and promotes justice, honor, and mutual trust.
