The DEIJ Committee understands the concept of diversity in its broadest terms, including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability status, socioeconomic status, immigration status and other forms of difference. The DEIJ Committee understands that diversity is a goal of the entire university community. The DEIJ Committee will work toward fulfilling IU’s diversity and inclusion goals at the department level.
The Department of Political Science at Indiana University Bloomington is committed to prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice among our students, faculty, and staff.
Our community is bolstered by the incorporation of people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and our intellectual culture is enhanced by an environment that promotes and protects human dignity for all. Together, as a diverse community, we strive to represent and promote these values in our department.
We stand in support and solidarity with our students, faculty, and staff, and with all the members of our community in the fight against racism and intolerance.
While IU values open expression and respectful debate, it does not tolerate acts of prejudiced expression that denies a student the right to freedom from harassment and discrimination. In response, the university has implemented a university-wide incident reporting system and response protocols for action and assistance.
