2020 & Beyond: Building & Thinking Forward
Join the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion this Fall for "2020 & Beyond: Building and Thinking Forward," a series of structured listening sessions. Each session will explore three key themes and we will use this exploration to renew and reaffirm what we most value at UC Merced.
Principles of Community
These principles reflect our ongoing efforts to increase access and inclusion and to create a community that nurtures lifelong learning and growth for all of its members. We encourage every member of the UC Merced community to join us in our collective pursuit of these principles.

This Office of Campus Climate was created to coordinate and support strategic initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion at UC Merced for all campus constituents. Director De Acker works with others throughout the campus on accountability, infrastructure and resources that support inclusive excellence, where equal opportunity, mutual respect and cross-cultural collaboration are fostered. The office also develops an integrated conflict-management system for faculty, staff and students to voice their concerns, work to resolve issues and contribute to a conflict-competent organization.

  

 

Principles of Community

UC Merced's Principles of Community reflect our ongoing efforts to increase access and inclusion and to create a community that nurtures lifelong learning and growth for all of its members. We encourage every member of the campus community to join us in our collective pursuit of these principles:

We uphold the right to freedom of expression and encourage a culture of dialogue, understanding and civility in all interactions.  We seek to create a campus where a rich tapestry of ideas is shared, collaboration is embraced, and innovation is promoted.
