The diversity of the student body is a key requirement of our diversity plan. A diverse faculty and welcoming classroom climate are crucial to the success of these efforts. Every effort will be made at the divisional level to insure that all hiring practices follow EEO procedures developed by the UMS to insure a diverse faculty.

Academic programs and class content in the Division of Natural and Behavioral Sciences will advance knowledge and understanding of the challenging issues associated with diversity.

Welcoming difference among faculty and students in the Division will depend upon the ability of each individual to respect the diversity of others.

Listening, as well as speaking, is essential when discussing issues which promote diversity.

The Division of Natural and Behavioral Sciences acknowledges the importance of continual effort to promote diversity.
