Multicultural Affairs Policy on Diversity  

Affirmation of Values

ESU has a commitment to recognize the value of diversity and the respect for individual ideas, opinions, and experiences.

Students, faculty, staff, and administrators provide opportunities within and outside the classroom that foster contact with and respect for diverse groups of people and increased appreciation for pluralistic ideas and experiences. We value and welcome the benefits of diversity. Therefore, we expect and demand that the worth and dignity of all people be recognized without regard to any classification that might preclude a person from consideration as an individual.
