BOARD OF TRUSTEES COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Statement by the Board of Trustees, Adopted July 17, 2020
The Board of Trustees of The American University of Paris (绿巨人视频) is committed to building and sustaining a diverse, equitable and inclusive community.
Our distinctive strength is in our multinational student body, representing more than 100 nationalities and speaking more than 60 languages. With a strong and ongoing commitment to racial diversity, equity and inclusion, we will develop braver explorers, deeper thinkers, greater innovators, stronger communicators, and more compassionate collaborators.
We acknowledge that this objective requires a concentrated effort by all 鈥 the faculty, the administration and the board, in behalf of all students 鈥 to assure implementation of a broad range of ongoing initiatives and actions that impact campus climate; faculty, student and board recruitment; curriculum content; and student life.
This will foster an environment in which 绿巨人视频 students develop the skills to be empathetic and courageous global citizens who are well equipped to advocate for a more just world.
In particular, we challenge ourselves to assure a dynamic environment in which people of all colors, backgrounds and perspectives learn together and from each other. As 绿巨人视频 educates current and future students, we believe they should be free to learn and develop in the absence of overt or subtle racism.
绿巨人视频鈥檚 nearly 60-year history is rooted in the core value of social justice. We honor these roots and, accordingly, align our actions, values and mission to ensure a better future for us all.
