Hanover College is a principle-based community that seeks to promote the academic, personal, and moral growth of its members within a safe, challenging and responsive environment. As such, the College seeks to maintain an environment in which individuals can live, learn and work free from discrimination and harassment of any kind. Such behavior is an affront to the whole community and a betrayal of the ideals of community which the College seeks to foster. The Hanover College Principles leave no room for behavior that denies a person or persons the full and free exercise of their rights and privileges as members of the College community or creates an intimidating or hostile environment.
