Our Mission and Philosophy

The mission of the Kansas Human Rights Commission is to prevent and eliminate discrimination and assure equal opportunities in employment relations, to eliminate and prevent discrimination, segregation or separation, and assure equal opportunities in places of public accommodations and in housing.

The agency philosophy in accomplishing its mission is to act in accordance with the highest standards of professional conduct, ethics, efficiency, and accountability. Realizing that the principles of equality and the protection of basic human rights are the most noble of human efforts, we dedicate our activities toward that purpose, believing that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
