When policies, actions, and values are not fully aligned, institutions of higher education are unable to respond to societal and institutional injustices. Hence, recommendations for better alignment between institutional values and actions are proposed.

The Feminist Collective at the University of Maine has been one of the primary sources of campus feminist activism for more than four decades.

However, the core mission has remained the largely unchanged: to offer a safe space for marginalized individuals in …
