The University of Washington’s definition of diversity:
“It is the mission of the University of Washington to break down barriers and
create a path for those who have been systematically excluded throughout
history... Diversity is defined herein as groups or individuals from
historically underrepresented and underserved populations with different
culture or background, including but not limited to, race, socioeconomic
status, ethnicity, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation,
marital status, age, disability, religion, and military status... and
individuals who express multiple minority identities.”
Statement of Goals:
1. Recruit and retain members from diverse communities for our students
(undergraduate and graduate), faculty, and staff
2. Promote access to departmental, campus-wide and external resources that
support diverse communities, both socially and financially
3. Seek out best practices for promoting equality and inclusivity in our
community, classrooms, meetings, and events, both on an institutional and an
interpersonal level
4. Seek out best practices for identifying and addressing barriers to equality
and inclusivity in our community, both on an institutional and an interpersonal
level
5. Collectively participate in the above efforts, recognizing that we are all
responsible for supporting diversity, equality, and inclusivity in our
community
