Founded on the values of diversity, inclusivity and equality, NWCU opened in 1855 admitting women and people of color on an equal basis with white males, which was a radical stance at the time. Today we work to continue to create a community where all can thrive regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, economic means, marital or parental status, or political affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>DEI Statement <\/b><br>Our mission at Butler University embodies what we aspire to uphold for current and future generations of learners, educators, and leaders. We have a perpetual responsibility as an academic institution to cultivate a campus community that is intentionally welcoming while creating an equitable learning and working environment. Our underlying commitments to our founding value of providing equal access to education for all regardless of background, identity, or perspectives serve as a guiding post to actualize our mission and efforts to be a university where everyone is&nbsp;valued, inspired, respected, and able to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shared-language\">Shared Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><p class=\"p2\">As we address key aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), it is important that we develop a common glossary of concepts and terms for reference. Recognizing that these important terms have a variety of interpretations and meanings, we offer these as a starting point. A shared language will help guide our overall efforts to ensure a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus environment. These definitions were compiled from existing definitions and\/or drafted through campus processes. It is not an exhaustive list. The library also maintains several libguides with DE&#038;I resources.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tAccessibility \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/diversity-equity-inclusion\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Accessibility means that all members of the Butler community have the supports necessary to equitably access new learning, to fully engage in all events and organizations, and to benefit from all institutional services, resources, and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-68c4824e56a7a-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?
