Key Definitions
Diversity:It encompasses acceptance and respect. It is the understanding that everyone is unique, and our individual differences need to be recognized. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical/mental ability, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

Key DefinitionsInclusion:The active, intentional, and ongoing engagement with diversity—in people, in the curriculum, in the co-curriculum, and in communities (intellectual, social, cultural, geographical) with which individuals might connect—in ways that increase one’s awareness, content knowledge, cognitive sophistication, and empathic understanding of the complex ways individuals interact within systems and institutions.

Key Definitions
Equity:The proportional distribution of desirable outcomes across groups. Sometimes confused with equality, equity refers to outcomes, while equality refers to equal treatment.
When individuals or groups are situated differently, equal treatment may be insufficient or even detrimental to equitable outcomes. To achieve equity an individual’s race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status with regards to public assistance, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression do not determine their educational, economic, social, or political opportunities.
