Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Yale

Belonging at Yale

Everyone has a role to play in making Yale a community where each of us can feel a sense of belonging, and where we can develop our own potential and the potential of our scholarship, research, and practice.

Each of us should expect:

  • Equal and equitable opportunity to contribute, learn, grow, and succeed,
  • Rejection of harassment or discrimination,
  • Accountability for inappropriate actions, and
  • The open exchange of ideas.

Yale is committed to an environment of diversity, civility, and intellectual discovery in which all students can thrive.

Yale does not tolerate harassment or any other act of discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression.

These acts are contrary to the community standards and ideals of our university. If you experience discrimination or harassment, witness a situation, or just need to talk, we encourage you to seek support. See below for information about addressing discrimination or harassment.
