Diversity and Inclusion

The School of Nursing Taskforce on Diversity and Inclusion invites discussion and input on the ideals listed below.  These bulleted items should be viewed in a- Structure (diversity); Process (inclusion) and Outcome (equity) frame.

• Diversity exists in among other ways: race, ethnicity, gender, age, ableness, religion, educational background, and national origin. 
• Inclusion is the School of Nursing’s organizational and intentional effort to purposively recognize diverse individuals, views and ideas equitably. Inclusion efforts will be dynamic and responsive to the educational environment.
• Equity aspires to guarantee that students, staff and faculty, as well as community stakeholders are fairly positioned recognizing that resources of time, attention and flexibility must be at play.

The taskforce will work within the University at Buffalo concept of Inclusive Excellence.

The School of Nursing complies with all non-discrimination policies of the University at Buffalo.
