Diversity statements
The Graduate School and the Department of Educational Policy and Administration
embrace the University of Minnesota’s position that promoting and supporting diversity
among the student body is central to the academic mission of the University. A diverse
student body enriches graduate education by providing a multiplicity of views and
perspectives that enhance research, teaching, and the development of new knowledge.
A diverse mix of students promotes respect for, and opportunities to learn from,
others with the broad range of backgrounds and experiences that constitute modern
society. Higher education trains the next generation of leaders of academia and
society in general, and such opportunities for leadership should be accessible to
all members of society. The Graduate School and its constituent graduate programs
are therefore committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities through
recruitment, admission, and support programs that promote diversity, foster successful
academic experiences, and cultivate the leaders of the next generation.
University of Minnesota Graduate School
(Mission Statement, University of Minnesota Board of Regents Policy, adopted:
1/14/94)
Philosophy: The University of Minnesota is founded in
the belief that all people are enriched by understanding, is dedicated to the advancement
of learning and the search for truth; to sharing of this knowledge through education
for a diverse community; and to the application of this knowledge to benefit the
people of the state, the nation, and the world.
Purpose: In all of its activities, the University strives
to sustain an open exchange of ideas in an environment that embodies the values
of academic freedom, responsibility, integrity, and cooperation; that provides an
atmosphere of mutual respect, free from racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice
and intolerance; that assists individuals, institutions, and communities in responding
to a continuously changing world; that is conscious of and responsive to the needs
of the many communities it is committed to serving; that creates and supports partnerships
within the University, with other educational systems and institutions, and with
communities to achieve common goals; and that inspires, sets high expectations for,
and empowers the individuals within its community.
