What is Diversity?
The Office of the Chancellor Diversity and Multiculturalism division uses the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees-approved definition of diversity.
Diversity
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system recognizes and respects the importance of all similarities and differences among human beings.
The system and its institutions are committed,
through their programs and policies, to fostering inclusiveness, understanding, acceptance ands
respect in a multicultural society. Diversity includes but is not limited to, age, ethnic origin, national
origin, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, religious beliefs, creeds and income. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system’s commitment to diversity compels it to confront prejudicial, discriminatory or racist behaviors and policies.
