Our Mission
The Mission of the Office of the Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity is to facilitate,
coordinate, advance, amplify, inform, and monitor the University and its many units as we develop our
strength in - and evidence of - respect for diversity.
Texas A&M University’s constituents believe our traditions and vision focus on a unique higher
education environment that fosters, in individuals and in groups, excellence, leadership, integrity, loyalty,
selfless service, and respect. Each of these attributes must fully integrate respect for individual and
group diversity such that we effectively utilize these differences in our pursuit of preeminence in the
21st century. As part of our mission to document Texas A&M University’s commitment to diversity, we
will provide data that will enable members of the university community to monitor progress made in
this regard.
Respect for diversity at Texas A&M University will be realized when we have:
a strong, demonstrable, presence of diversity in our faculty, staff, students, administrators, and supporters,
including specific demonstrations of recruiting and retention success for racial, ethnic and gender groups
where they have been underrepresented in areas within the University;
an environment where the opportunity to fully participate does not inappropriately or unintentionally depend
on elements of an individual’s identity; and
an equitable environment where success depends on work effort and contributions that advance the mission of
the University.
