The primary goal of the division is to develop a supportive environment for a culturally
diverse faculty, staff and student body. The Division of Institutional Equity
and Diversity provides a safe zone for all. Please refer to the University
AA/EOE/ADA
statement
http://www.unt.edu/aaeoeada.html
and the University policy on diversity, UNT Policies Manual, vol. 2, Human Resources
Department (policy 10.15)
http://www.unt.edu/planning/UNT_Policy/volume2/10_15.html.
The phrase "equity and diversity" implies that a
society of individuals exists in an environment where fairness, justice, civility and diversity are its primary goals. "Diversity" in this context,
means "variety," and it goes beyond race and
ethnicity, to include class, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender
identity, religion, political
affiliation, socio-economic background, educational level, profession and other qualities.
"Equity" means "equality of opportunity" for all
individuals, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin,
disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The University of North Texas advocates a campus that
promotes inclusiveness and is committed to maintaining an unpretentious and accepting
atmosphere, welcoming individuals who strive for excellence.
The Division of Institutional Equity and Diversity
is under the direction of Dr. Gilda Garcia, Vice President for Institutional Equity and
Diversity and includes Diversity Education,
which facilitates diverse faculty recruitment, in addition
to overseeing the UNT Ally Program.
