The Alma Mater Studiorum pursues its institutional goals "with the responsible support of all the members of the University community, each to the extent of their own responsibilities". This community abides by its "primary value", namely "the respect for all individuals' fundamental rights, which the University undertakes to promote and protect under all circumstances" (University Statute, Article 1, paragraph 5).
The Alma Mater is aware that individuals' fundamental rights are a codified moral heritage of the Italian Republic, of the European Union and of the United Nations, which however constantly expands in the light of the new needs of society and history.
The Alma Mater undertakes to facilitate the enforcement of the principles of equity, sustainability, inclusion and respect for diversity in every area of its institutional activities.
By implementing these principles, the Alma Mater Studiorum shall not only continuously respect all longstanding rights, which constantly require care and protection against the threat of falling backwards, but it is also fully committed to opening up to dialogue and to promoting new rights that our increasingly complex society calls for, by acknowledging and further enhancing them.
