In this place, we envision campus that acknowledges and addresses the special needs of groups and individuals who historically have faced institutional barriers. We envision a place where the pervasive respect for diversity has created a supportive climate in which students are able to reach their academic potential and the entire campus benefits from participation in a multicultural community. People are different and the differences among them are what we call diversity.
Diversity is a natural and enriching hallmark of life.
It includes, but is not limited to, ethnicity, race, gender, age, class, sexual orientation, religion and disability. A climate of healthy diversity is one in which people value individual and group differences, respect the perspectives of others, and communicate openly. Definition of diversity adopted by the campus diversity committee, 1994.
