One of the many things about UT Knoxville that makes me proud is that our campus continues to be a place where Volunteers want to work. Your ideas help push us to be the best university we can be. That is one of the reasons UT Knoxville has received national recognition as a top employer.

My leadership team and I value the feedback we receive from you through formal and informal conversations, engagement surveys, and email. Based on ideas that came from members of our campus community, I am announcing today that we will be implementing a new anti-bullying procedure.

We are committed to creating and sustaining a healthy educational and work environment. All of us deserve to be treated professionally and respectfully in the workplace, the classroom, and anywhere we may encounter one another. When we say that we are building a campus where everyone matters and everyone belongs, that applies to all Volunteers—not just our students.

You can find the new anti-bullying procedure here. Thank you all for what you do to make Rocky Top a great place for everyone.
