Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The University Libraries strives to be a place that welcomes everyone by providing knowledgeable, accessible, responsive, empathetic and equitable services and programs to all of our users.

We value inclusion and equity and are committed to:

• Training our faculty and staff to understand, recognize and actively work to counter implicit bias and systemic racism in our organization.
• Curating collections and creating programming that offer diverse perspectives and highlight marginalized voices.
• Examining our hiring practices and implementing changes to increase the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives at all levels within the organization.
• Reviewing Libraries policies and procedures to identify and address biases.
• Collaborating with others in the library community to eliminate bias in the profession.

We have compiled anti-racism resources that may be helpful to us all. Please share additional resources with us.
