Commitment to Diversity

Equal Opportunity through Affirmative Action

Carnegie Mellon is committed to reaching out to people of different races, genders, ethnicity and physical ability, and strives to create an environment of inclusion that celebrates our differences and highlights our commonalties. We are privileged to guarantee equal opportunity for all and to attract the best students, faculty and staff in a manner that reflects the multicultural environment in which our graduates will work and live.

A diverse campus community is essential to enriching intellectual exchanges and enhancing cultural understanding. Likewise, it is important for the diversity of our community to reflect our regional, national and global constituencies. We must be more successful than we have been in realizing and nurturing a diverse community.

In our Statement of Assurance, we formally state our policy that discrimination will not be tolerated. Carnegie Mellon annually reaffirms its commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action in employment decisions and personnel actions through our Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action policy.
