Anthropology鈥檚 Diversity Statement

The USF Department of Anthropology recognizes the principles of equity of assignment, resources, and opportunities of faculty across a multi-campus university. The Department is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni from all backgrounds and perspectives, who honor differences, provide equal opportunity, foster mutual respect, challenge stereotyped preconceptions, and condemn all forms of discrimination and prejudice. We respect and appreciate the diversity of human experience shaped and influenced by a variety of experiences and circumstances including, but not limited to culture race, ethnicity, ancestry, nationality, citizenship, language, age, gender, sexuality, disability, family status, socioeconomic background, political beliefs, and religion. These core principles compel us to make every effort to recruit and retain underrepresented groups in the discipline and to make every effort to integrate meaningfully the experiences, histories, and perspectives of these groups into our curricular and co-curricular programs and learning environments. We therefore commit to developing and implementing strategic actions, as permitted by law and the regulations and policies of the 51在线, for achieving these goals and annually assessing our progress.
