The purpose of this plan is to develop a more diverse curriculum, campus community, and culture of inclusion that will prepare our students with multicultural skills they will need to be leaders in our global society. The Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion should not be seen as a quick fix to every challenge our institution faces. The plan is, however, evidence of Chapman’s continuing commitment to creating a campus climate that strives for inclusive excellence. The importance that we place upon inclusion represents a worldview that respects the dignity of every person—faculty, staff, and student—finding value in the unique qualities, experiences, and perspectives that form one’s identity while fostering respectful exploration of competing ideas and beliefs.
All of the recommendations, goals, initiatives, and progress contained within this plan have been developed to reflect the core values of the Chapman University Mission Statement and the Chapman University Statement on Diversity & Inclusion.
