NYU is committed to building a culture that respects and embraces diversity, inclusion, and equity, because these values are vital for advancing knowledge, sparking innovation, and creating sustainable communities. A diverse population approaches challenges and opportunities from different perspectives leading to a higher quality of debate in an academic enterprise. Read the full diversity statement.

• Foster intellectual inquiry, research, and artistic practices that respectfully and rigorously take account of a wide range of opinions, perspectives, and experiences.

• Promote an inclusive community in which diversity is valued and every member feels they have a rightful place, is welcome and respected, and is supported in their endeavors.

• Develop and supporting programs and policies that measurably improve NYU's record of attracting and retaining students, as well as hiring and promoting faculty, administrators, and staff from historically underrepresented communities.

• Build structures that promote inclusiveness and equity for all members of the NYU community, especially our colleagues from marginalized groups.
