"At Meridian 社区 College we reject, in the strongest way possible, any action that disrespects, relegates, disregards, or harms another human being. 作为一个机构 of higher learning, we are created to provide opportunities that transform lives. Those transformations open doors for people, families, and communities. 我们相信 these changes cannot occur without an environment that facilitates respect and understanding and we further believe they cannot occur without an ethic of justice, equity 和公平. We encourage our community to move away from hostility and bitterness and embrace honor, appreciation, and trust for one another."

In its mission to improve the quality of life, Meridian 社区 College is committed to fairness, honor and trust.

With that comes a drive for inclusion and respect for all; to work for change, create an example, be the difference, and embrace justice. The future demands moving from hostility and bitterness to going forward to live, learn, appreciate, value, understand, and lift up one another.
 
MCC personnel believes these changes cannot occur without an environment that facilitates respect and understanding. And, they cannot happen without an ethic of justice, equity, 和公平. In moving forward, the College has established a 30-member, campus-wide 多样性 Committee, which will explore and enact positive change on campus.
