Strategic Action Plan on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

SUNY College at Oneonta Diversity Statement

The College at Oneonta is an academic community that values diversity.  Diversity at the College is an inclusive value that encompasses race and ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity and gender expression, age, ability, socio-economic status, and other aspects of identity.

As a campus community, we believe that every individual is important in a unique way and contributes to the overall quality of the institution.  We are committed to recruiting and retaining diverse faculty, staff, and students, and to fostering a learning environment, which draws strength from, celebrates, and honors diversity.  We strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination; to respect the dignity of all persons; and to learn from differences in people, ideas, experiences, and opinions.
