Faculty, academic and staff diversity
Building a more equitable, diverse and inclusive workforce
UC sustains a supportive work environment for employees and a climate of respect and dignity for all. A pluralistic UC workforce lends itself to innovation, broad perspectives and mentorship of students from varying backgrounds.
The university is leading actions to make newly hired faculty and staff feel valued and included, in part by bringing more qualified UC graduate students into the ranks of faculty. Another key element is creating beautiful, functional workspaces where everyone can thrive.
