Mission Statement
The mission of the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
Programs is to provide central leadership and support for the University's
efforts to achieve an educational and work environment that is diverse
in race, ethnicity, interests, abilities and perspectives. The office

action, and non-discrimination policies through education, training
and active partnership with others from the campus and the broader

Resolution Adopting a Diversity Statement
RESOLVED, that the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania adopt
in principal and practice the following statement on diversity:
Penn rejoices in the rich diversity of persons, groups, views,
and academic disciplines and programs that grace the campus of the
nation's first university. Tapping our diversity to strengthen ties
across all boundaries enriches the intellectual climate and creates
a more vibrant community. Fostering and nourishing this diversity,
especially among students, faculty, staff, and trustees must remain
central to the core missions of the University.
University of Pennsylvania Nondiscrimination Statement
The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and seeks talented
students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds. The University
of Pennsylvania does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, color, national or
ethnic origin, age, disability, or veteran status in the administration of educational policies,
programs or activities; admissions policies; scholarship and loan
awards; athletic, or other University administered programs or employment.
