Part 1. Policy Statement
One of the State of Minnesota’s objectives for public higher education is to “promote democratic values and enhance Minnesota’s quality of life by developing understanding and appreciate of a free and diverse society” (Minn. Stat. § 135A.011 (2018)). North Hennepin Community College promotes democratic values through educating the college and the broader community about the election process, voter registration, civil discourse, and related matters. In order to effectively carry out this mission, North Hennepin Community College remains non-partisan. College resources may not be used to advance the interests of any political party or candidate.
