Diversity

The University of Washington values diversity and is committed to promoting:

• respect for the rights and privileges of others;
• understanding and appreciation of human differences; and
• the constructive expression of ideas.

University of Washington policy prohibits discrimination against members of the University community on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability or status as a disabled veteran or Vietnam era veteran. As a center of learning, the University has the obligation to maintain conditions which are conducive to freedom of inquiry and expression to the maximum degree compatible with the orderly conduct of its functions. For these purposes, the University is governed by regulations and procedures which safeguard its functions and which, at the same time, protect the rights and freedoms of all members of the academic community.
