Commitment to Diversity
As a major public institution of higher education, Texas A&M University
has both an extraordinary opportunity and a special responsibility to
create and maintain a climate that affirms diversity of persons as
well as diversity of views. Diversity is an indispensable component of
academic excellence. A commitment to diversity means a commitment to
the inclusion, welcome, and support of individuals from all groups,
encompassing the various characteristics of persons in our community.
Among these characteristics are race, ethnicity, national origin,
gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation,
and disability. As we harness the power of diversity, we will provide
students, faculty, and staff a university experience rich in
perspectives and opportunities to learn from each other. In the spirit
of shared responsibility, we encourage each University unit, student
organization, and campus community member to help make our campus a
welcoming place for all.
