Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement: 

Prairie State College recognizes and celebrates the diversity of students, faculty, staff, and community as an integral part of our mission. We are committed to building and maintaining a respectful, inclusive, accessible, and supportive environment on campus. The College embraces the diversity of individual beliefs and supports the broad spectrum of diversity, including religion, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, age, and socioeconomic status.

Prairie State College recognizes that diverse representation is not enough, and that equality alone may not be sufficient to achieve success for all people. We pledge to identify and remove barriers that limit the realization of equitable outcomes for our community. We strive to adopt policies, procedures, and practices that promote equitable participation in educational programs so everyone can achieve their full potential. The College is committed to addressing and erasing equity disparities through ongoing analysis and development of its personnel, programming, practices, and educational outcomes.
