Values

At UMB, we embrace and are committed to diversity, and we value inclusive and just communities. We oppose racism and oppression in all their forms. Equity and Justice are part of the university's Core Values.

In addition to the university’s core values, the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion works to promote and embody the values of collaboration, leadership, and excellence.

In June 2022, the opening column of The President's Message was dedicated to discussing the core values of equity and justice.
