The Oregon University System vision for addressing the needs of a diverse population is a comprehensive and ongoing consideration. OUS strives to proactively enhance the representation, inclusion, and engagement of broadly diverse populations through a variety of initiatives. Community engagement and diversity efforts are designed to support all Oregon communities and promote educational opportunities and outreach.
Informing and supporting Board priorities, statewide partnership efforts, and campus initiatives are important responsibilities of the Chancellor's Office Educational Policy and Inclusion Department. Inclusive efforts are viewed in broad terms and include, but are not limited to, cultural, racial/ethnic, gender, disability, geographic, and socioeconomic diversity.
