Diversity Statement
The Department of Mass Communications supports the definition of diversity adopted by the university and the college. The Department defines diversity broadly, recognizing each individual’s unique internal and external characteristics as well as acknowledging that diversity is an evolving concept with multitudes of identities, perspectives, and dimensions. Specifically, the Department’s commitment to diversity is reflected in the following three areas:
- Respecting identities and experiences associated with race, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical and/or mental abilities, national origin and ethnicity;
- Fostering a non-discriminatory climate regardless of religion, education, socio-economic or class background, work experiences, marital or parental status, or geographical location;
- Maintaining an inclusive work environment regardless of management status, classification, field of study, seniority/rank, and/or union affiliation.
