During Bluffton University’s annual President’s Forum, President James Harder explored the topic of respect. Respect is one of Bluffton’s four enduring values along with discovery, community and service.
Over the years, Bluffton has also developed an intentional and carefully-considered set of relational values that has come to be called Bluffton’s “Community of Respect” statement. The statement guides the ways members of the campus community relate to each other.
