Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (OIDEI)

We will provide ongoing learning and educational opportunities to prepare our staff, faculty and leadership with the knowledge and skills to be able to fully engage and function across differences in an increasingly pluralistic society.

We will proactively foster an inclusive and welcoming campus climate for all students, staff, and faculty, in order to live out more fully our institutional commitment to social justice and care for the whole person.

We will ensure that our institutional structures, policies and procedures promote equity and inclusion for all members of our community + we will seek to remove unjust barriers that prevent us realizing our commitment to inclusive excellence.

We will recruit and retain a diverse student body, staff, and faculty that is reflective of an increasingly diverse society and recognizing that inclusion + better representation is a direct measure of our success and competitiveness as an institution of higher learning.

We will ensure that racial justice, diversity, equity and inclusion are integrated into our teaching methodology and program offerings and that scholarly research by faculty in these areas is supported and valued.
