A rich mix of students, faculty, staff, and administrators make up the SJSU community. The campus not only values the diversity found here (e.g. age, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation), but seeks to support and nurture an environment welcoming to all. SJSU aims to:
create a campus climate that values diversity;
create the administrative and organizational structure needed to coordinate and monitor campus climate progress;
recruit, hire, and retain culturally diverse employees across all levels and areas of the university, regardless of funding source;
provide professional development activities that assist all personnel in the understanding of their own and other cultures;
infuse diversity into the curriculum and promote pedagogical strategies that encourage student involvement and facilitate respect of diverse perspectives;
enhance professional development opportunities;
promote a user-friendly campus in which all campus citizens, students, as well as employees, feel welcomed and appreciated;
provide student support activities to facilitate an environment for success;
promote and enhance community involvement; and
ensure and monitor university compliance with the findings and recommendations of the Americans with Disabilities Act Self-Evaluation Transition Report.
