Statement of Commitment

Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 3345.016, NEOMED declares that it will educate students by means of free, open, and rigorous intellectual inquiry to seek the truth; equip students with the opportunity to develop the intellectual skills they need to reach their own, informed conclusions; will not require, favor, disfavor, or prohibit speech or lawful assembly; create a community dedicated to an ethic of civil and free inquiry, which respects the autonomy of each member, supports individual capacities for growth, and tolerates the differences in opinion that naturally occur in a public higher education community; treat all faculty, staff, and students as individuals, to hold them to equal standards, and to provide them equality of opportunity, with regard to those individuals’ race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

Core values

Integrity

We uphold the highest ethical standards, acting with honesty, accountability, and transparency.

Collaboration

We believe transformation arises from interdisciplinary teamwork, strong partnerships, and the sharing of knowledge, all which drive innovation and improve outcomes.
