Belonging at Penn

A commitment to equal opportunity has long been anchored in Penn’s guiding principles and enduring values. Among these are freedom of inquiry and thought; embracing the varied perspectives of our global community; and supporting a culture of scholarly innovation. Penn has initiated a comprehensive review of our programs to ensure consistency with new federal government guidance and Executive Orders; federal, state, and local law; and our University values. 

Penn’s culture of education, innovation, and discovery is made possible by uniting people across meaningful differences. We remain dedicated to providing a respectful, enriching University environment that celebrates faculty, staff, and students of distinctive backgrounds and experiences.  At times individuals or groups may believe they have experienced discrimination or bias or were negatively impacted by the actions of another member of the Penn community.
