				training. The online training and workshops are offered to ensure that all
				employees are aware of the university's commitment to diversity, inclusion and
				mutual respect. To assure compliance, all employees will participate in the
				appropriate training:
Medical center "(UTMC") employees will

				training (for those who are not required to attend new employee
				orientation.
Non-UTMC university employees will
				participate in diversity workshops through new employee orientation,
				face-to-face training, or online training.
The university believes that the
				respective workshops and online training are consistent with the university's
				definition of diversity. The office of diversity and inclusion is responsible
				for the implementation of the development of the modules and workshops and will
				serve as the resource for questions on tracking of training completion. As
				such, these modules and workshops are important to the university achieving its
				strategic direction, embodying its core values and advancing its
				mission.
All faculty, staff, employees and
				volunteers are required to satisfactorily complete the respective face-to-face
				or online training as appropriately noted for their designation of UTMC
				employees or non-UTMC university employees.

				community. The online training and workshops will explain the important role
				that diversity has in the enrichment of the university and hospital experience.
				The institution's collective purpose is to enhance the educational, patient
				care and social experiences of all individuals who are associated with the
				university.

								Definition of diversity
Diversity is a core value of the
				university of Toledo. As a scholarly community that encourages diversity of
				thought as reflected in our broad array of disciplines, we embrace the many
				things in life that makes us different. The university welcomes people of all
				racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, national and international
				backgrounds. We embrace diversity of pedagogy, religion, age, ability, sexual
				orientation, gender identity/expression, and political affiliation. Diversity
				is essential to our ability to survive and thrive. Every individual is a
				necessary asset, and we demonstrate this every day in our policies, practices,
				and operating procedures.
