Equity Diversity Inclusion and Accessibility

Equity, diversity, inclusion, & accessibility

Championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) is integral to H��’s vision, mission, actions, and culture, and influences how we interact with one another on a daily basis. Our work in this area requires both acknowledging historical injustice and addressing ongoing systemic inequalities within our campus community and beyond.

Accessibility

We are committed to removing barriers to equitable learning and opportunity in our community. Our institutional Accessibility Plan includes initiatives to improve accessibility in the built environment; teaching, learning and research; goods and services; information and communication; transportation; and employment.
