DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Indiana State University embraces diversity and inclusion as core values to cultivate an inclusive community. Advancing diversity and inclusion is not only a goal, but included in the ISU strategic planning process. ISU celebrates and supports all students, faculty and staff across the educational community. Our varied backgrounds enhance and contribute to our collective educational experiences and worldviews. Our multifaceted community consists of varying groups that are not defined by: age, disability, genetic information, national origin, pregnancy, race/color, creed, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, political affiliation or veteran status, etc.
Indiana State University is committed to providing equal opportunity in employment and education for all. Discrimination based upon any protected class is strictly prohibited.
INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE
Indiana State University is committed to Inclusive Excellence. Our vision not only reflects the intentional integration of critical thinking, cultural mindfulness and conscientious respect for varied perspectives, but also embodies the core values to become Inclusively Excellent! Everyone in the ISU workforce has a role and responsibility in the active process to address diversity, inclusion, and equity as critical to the well-being of our university culture to uncover inequities.
The changing demographics encourages us to enhance our institutional operations and practices so that Inclusive Excellence becomes the norm through strategic planning: learning, global engagement, institutional advancement, research and teaching through curricular and co-curricular activities.
Our standard of excellence is the expectation for ALL students and will be reflected through high quality learning, equity minded administrators, faculty and staff, and progressive student success initiatives that enhance and prepares our student body to live and work in a democratic society.
