Fostering an Inclusive Environment
As a University, we are committed to providing our faculty, staff, and students with a working and learning environment that is free from unlawful and impermissible discrimination. Such an environment must be safe and inclusive and must not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment prohibited by the University policy and state and federal civil rights laws.

Why?
For the University to ensure its tradition of academic excellence it must continue to attract and retain the very best students, faculty and staff– and the best individuals are as diverse as the world in which we live. Furthermore, it is imperative for us to uphold the most fundamental principles of academic freedom and the basic human principle of equal treatment for all.
