Gonzaga University's Commitment

                                       to Human Diversity

Gonzaga University's distinguished tradition of humanistic, Catholic, and Jesuit

education recognizes that all human beings have the same sacred origin, nature,

and inherent dignity regardless of race, sex, religion, nationality, economic

status, or other differences.  The University believes in the principles of holistic

education and strives to provide all community members with opportunities for

variety of experiences from which they can learn and grow.

The University recognizes that the quality of education as well as the growth

and development of the human person is enhanced by awareness of the learning

from persons with different experiences, backgrounds, and ideas.  This approach

equips all community members, especially its graduates, to understand and

relate to persons from all cultures and backgrounds. 

The University further strives to provide an environment in which all members

can reap the educational and experiential benefits of a diverse community whose

members reflect a variety of cultures, backgrounds, ideas, and values consistent

with the University's traditions and Mission Statement.
