At the bottom of the page, find links to Emory’s policies and programs related to diversity and inclusion as well as to the departments and offices responsible for training, enforcement, and support.
What Is...
Diversity
Diversity simply means that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual differences. There are varied dimensions of differences, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs or other ideologies, global locations, and cultures, to name a few.
Our university goal is to embrace, understand, and celebrate the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual. Diversity also involves respecting and appreciating different ideas, perspectives, and values.
Inclusion
At Emory, inclusion means welcoming everyone and providing ample opportunity for everyone to engage in and benefit from our clinical, teaching and research missions.
Equity
Equity is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all students, faculty, and staff, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. The guiding principle of equity acknowledges that there are underserved and underrepresented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups.
