Community Standards
Wake Forest University is a community 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.
Each member of the Wake Forest community is expected to adhere to policies and procedures as set forth by the University. Some relevant policies include:
Student Policies
Faculty/Staff Policies
Faculty and staff who become aware of possible sexual misconduct or harassment involving a student are obligated to refer the information to the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator even if an individual requests confidentiality.
