Diversity Statement

As the University of Florida harmonizes efforts to become one of the top public research institutions, a commitment to diversity is clearly illustrated in the University Work Plan to improve student and faculty diversity.

“Diversifying the faculty is a goal UF must achieve to maintain the vitality of the faculty and student body.” President Machen

The Institutional Equity & Diversity Office has the organizational structure to respond to the university’s vision for a diverse workforce and provide a highly inclusive perspective on university issues. University diversity efforts will be assimilated into the campus and surrounding communities; making the university partner with other stakeholders interested in the quality of campus life. This will be accomplished in part through the efforts of the Council on Diversity. The council’s constellation will have campus-wide representation.

We are conducting timely investigations, examining equal opportunity reporting and administrative policies to set new strategies for a positive impact on diversity and the elimination of discrimination of any kind in the workplace or classroom.

Diversity activities will be made familiar to our entire community through heterogeneous discourse, administrative and managerial outreach, conferences, publications and electronic communications. The EEO office takes responsibility for the coordinated united efforts of key players at UF with responsibility for diversity among students, faculty and staff.

"Diversity at Work!" Training Sessions

The University of Florida has a very diverse population of both staff and students.  Age, gender, race, religion, politics, socio-economic, education…the list is endless.  Is this a weakness – or an opportunity?  It is known that by drawing on diverse strengths and talents and developing a truly inclusive environment, an organization will increase productivity and be in the best position to succeed in today’s global community.  Therefore, leveraging our diverse population must be central to our efforts to be among the best public universities.  Attend this workshop to learn more about how diversity can work for you—and your team!

To take the Diversity at Work! training course, log on to the myUFL system and go to > My Self Service > Training and Development > GET205 (Diversity at Work).

Upcoming session:
Thursday, March 31, 9 a.m. to 12 noon
