The university president just stated that as a goal, that they are to be tolerated at the university. What a great thing it must be to know you are tolerated.

1. Thank you...
I've never liked the term "tolerance" for that very reason. "Accepting" or "embracing" would be more appropriate to the intended meaning.

2. Tolerence implies unpleasantness and condescension.

4. When I tolerate something
I usually hold my nose and walk quickly past it?
