Gulf Coast State College reaffirms our commitment to the core values we hold most
dear - the open expression of ideas and perspectives, diversity of thought and culture,
inclusion, respect, kindness, justice, equality, and tolerance toward all. The College
is a safe place for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors – we remain our community’s
college! The College is dedicated to providing a nondiscriminatory learning and working
environment for all. Any conduct of a violent nature or discrimination against a protected
class will not be tolerated. Our students will forever be shaped by our words and
actions, and we acknowledge that responsibility. While we pride ourselves on the work
we have done to support inclusion, enhance diversity, and to ensure respect for all,
there is clearly more we can do. Our College will take a leading role in our community
to ensure that the voices of all are heard, and the hopes and dreams of all, for a
