Inclusiveness Statement

University Housing staff value the multitude of different voices, opinions, experiences and identities of the Illinois community. We respect and honor each member of the communities in which we work and live, inclusive of all aspects of individual and group identity and experience. Our commitment is woven into each of our interactions, programs and decisions.

We define Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in the following ways:

Diversity in Student Affairs at Illinois encompasses the varied experiences, expressions and values within our community. This is informed by, but is not limited to, age, color, culture, disability status, gender identity and expression, height, language, marital status, national origin, political perspectives, race and ethnicity, religion and spirituality, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, veteran status and weight.

Equity in Student Affairs at Illinois ensures equal opportunity for all people. Through the creation of policies, procedures and practices that actively respond to bias, harassment and inequity, we challenge discrimination.

Inclusion in Student Affairs at Illinois intentionally fosters an environment where diverse people and perspectives are welcomed, valued and integrated into our campus community. We fundamentally believe that embracing the diverse cultures and experiences of all community members enhances our campus.

The mission of University Housing is to provide programs and support services that transform student lives. In alignment with our mission to foster a supportive environment for all members of our university community, all programs are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color or national origin. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request.

University Housing's updated Strategic Plan is built on the foundations found in Boldly Illinois 2030 and the Student Affairs Strategic plan.
