7. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
In the lobby of the Human Kinetics Building is a plaque that reads “Welcome students! You are the most important people in this office…,” but to be true to this mantra requires that we listen to and support the voices of ALL our students and staff. The Faculty of Human Kinetics prides itself on being a family and we are committed to making this family stronger and better, together. In carrying out our mission to inspire students to be lifelong learners and leaders by engaging them in the study of human movement, sport, physical activity, work, and health and in opportunities ranging from high performance sport to leisure and recreation,we will not stand for conduct that harms, threatens, harasses, or discriminates against people for any reason including those that target individuals and groups of people based on their race, ethnicity and/or ethnic origin, sex, gender identity and/or expression, religion, ability, and/or age. We expect that our students, staff and faculty hold this same commitment while noting that we continue to actively work to make Human Kinetics a safe and welcoming Faculty for everyone.
