Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We view diversity holistically, understanding that the definition is constantly evolving. Our definition of diversity includes but is not limited to race, ethnicity, color, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, class, religion, disability, age, military status, visa status, economic status, geographic location, and language/linguistic ability. Diverse and well-reasoned ideas, approaches, and experiences are also essential parts of inclusion and equity.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Graduate Student Advisory Board

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Graduate Student Advisory Board is a group of graduate students from across the university who help shape the Graduate School’s collaborative efforts to cultivate an equitable, affirming, and inclusive graduate education experience.

Student Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students to create an academic community that is free from all forms of prejudice that negatively influence learning, such as those based on age, ethnicity, gender, mental or physical impairment, race, religion, or sexual orientation. All faculty, staff, and students are expected to treat one another with courtesy and respect.

Faculty, Staff, and Student Responsibilities

Miami demands the highest standards of professional conduct from its students, faculty, and staff.  As a community of scholars, our fundamental purpose is the pursuit of knowledge. Integrity in research and creative activities and in academic study is based on sound disciplinary practices and expectations, as well as a commitment to the values of honesty and integrity.

The Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities Committee is a standing committee of the Graduate Student Association, composed of 7-9 graduate student members who may not serve concurrently on GSA Exec. The term of membership is one (1) year (renewable for up to 3 years).
