About
A systemwide commitment to diversity and equal opportunity
Diversity has always been at the core of the University of California’s mission and purpose. In fact, UC’s commitment to diversity is central to our history as one of the original land-grant public universities.
UC’s diversity goals, established in Regents Policy 4440: University of California Diversity Statement, help further explain how supporting diversity and equal opportunity in education is integral to fulfilling the University’s historic promise of recognizing and nurturing merit, talent and achievement for all.
Inclusive excellence to, through and beyond UC
Affirming diverse identities and lived experiences, improving access for the historically underrepresented and fostering respect for all community members are values at the core of UC’s diversity mission.
