Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
School of Social Work Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Statement
The School of Social Work upholds values and cherishes student, faculty and staff diversity, no matter the circumstance. As members of the ASU Community, we are charged with challenging injustices and social inequities of any kind through education. These values are an integral part of our standing as an institution, and must be upheld by all members of the ASU community including, but not limited to SSW faculty, staff and students. Arizona State University welcomes all students, regardless of race/ethnicity, gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, disabilities, regional background, veteran status, citizenship status, nationality and other diverse identities.
Watts College Insuring Inclusivity
Watts College recognizes that we must examine ourselves with a sense of immediacy, understanding that it is our responsibility to identify and eradicate any policies or practices of the college that have created inequities due to our action (or inaction) for groups that face disadvantage as a result of systemic racism.
ASU Office of Inclusive Excellence
Arizona State University is deeply committed to positioning itself as one of the great new universities by seeking to build excellence, enhance access and have an impact on our community, state, nation and the world.
To do that requires our faculty and staff to reflect the intellectual, ethnic and cultural diversity of our nation and world so that our students learn from the broadest perspectives, and we engage in the advancement of knowledge with the most inclusive understanding possible of the issues we are addressing through our scholarly activities.
