Mission

Binghamton University dedicates itself to creating a campus environment in which all its members-irrespective of racial, ethnic, or religious heritage; class; gender; sexual orientation; or ability status-participate in and contribute fully to the life of the University.

The University also strives to achieve a climate that fosters respect for the differences among and within the University's cultural groups, and that encourages cultural groups and organizations to offer activities and events that may be shared by the University community to everyone's advantage.

As a community, Binghamton University students, faculty, staff, and administrators all share responsibility, individually and collectively, for achieving the goals of inclusiveness. In our multiple roles, each of us is responsible for encouraging comfort and openness among all members of the University, and wherever possible, ensuring that events of all types (academic, social, cultural, athletic, etc.) are designed to attract and include all people, whatever their race, religion, gender, disability status, ethnic background or sexual orientation.
