Realizing Intentional Standards of Excellence (RISE)
Commitment to Equity & Excellence
KU’s mission is to educate leaders, build healthy communities, and make discoveries that change the world. When we Realize Intentional Standards of Excellence, we contribute to the fulfilment of KU’s mission and vision by ensuring that access, success, respect, and belonging are integral to every part of KU’s research, scholarship, teaching, service, community engagement, and support.
Furthermore, a purposeful and organized plan to improve access, success, respect, and belonging across the institution is essential to securing HLC accreditation and keeping AAU membership. KU will not be competitive with peer and aspirant institutions until all Jayhawks understand and embody the reality that access, success, respect, and belonging are not additive but rather essential to all parts of the institution. Thus, RISE offers an action-oriented framework which helps advance belonging.
