href="https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/reports/2018-annual-diversity-and-inclusion-report/"><strong>2018 Diversity and Inclusion Report</strong></a></h4> <p class="border">In the past year the University of Rochester has taken a number of important steps to expand on our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. As such, this annual Diversity and Inclusion Report has a broader focus than in previous years.</p> <h4><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Annual-Diversity-Report_October_2017_FINAL_web.pdf"><strong>2017 Annual Report on Diversity and Inclusion</strong></a></h4> <p>The eleventh annual diversity report builds on the work of the 2016 Commission on Race and Diversity and the work of the Presidential Diversity Council, identifying points of change and progress that are helping to ensure that our institution is one where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and respected every day.</p> <h4><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1918-Diversity-Annual-Report-FINAL_web_singlepages_REV.pdf"><strong>2016 Tenth Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his 10th annual diversity report, University President and CEO Joel Seligman says the commitment to making the University welcoming and inclusive is a never-ending one.</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReport2015.pdf"><strong>2015 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his ninth annual diversity report, President Joel Seligman says the University is making “continued progress” in efforts to be a more diverse and welcoming community. The 2014–2015 academic year saw small, but measurable progress, including an increase in the proportion of faculty and staff who are women or who identify themselves as members of an underrepresented racial or ethnic minority group. This is valuable progress, but our work is not done.</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReport2014.pdf"><strong>2014 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his eighth annual diversity report, President Joel Seligman discusses progress in the University’s diversity initiatives, including an increase in the proportion of faculty and staff who are women or who identify themselves as members of an underrepresented racial or ethnic minority group, and the diversity strategic plan for the next five years.</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReport2013.pdf"><strong>2013 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his seventh annual diversity report, President Joel Seligman says that “We have made great progress, but the University still has far to go to achieve our full aspirations as a diverse and inclusive community.”</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReport2012.pdf"><strong>2012 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his sixth annual diversity report, President Joel Seligman says that “We continue to make incremental progress in our diversity initiatives. In the last six years we have learned a great deal. We’ve made great progress in creating conversations that will help create as welcoming, inclusive, and diverse a community as possible.”</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/2011diversity-report.pdf"><strong>2011 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his fifth annual diversity report, President Joel Seligman says “Our task as a University is to welcome all to join our community based on their talents. I am convinced that progress in achieving greater diversity is vital to our success as a great research University. I am gratified to be associated with a University where a commitment to diversity is consistently reflected in the decisions of our Board and our senior leadership.”</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/2010diversityreportCorrected.pdf"><strong>2010 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his fourth annual diversity report, President Seligman says that although the University numbers “last year remained relatively static during an economic recession, if I’ve learned one thing about diversity more than anything else, it is that numbers are at most a starting point. What matters is the story behind the numbers, the dynamic, the integrity of the effort, the commitment to progress, and in that sense we’re starting to move in the right direction.”</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReportMay2009.pdf"><strong>2009 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>In his third annual diversity report, President Seligman says the University is making “continued progress” in efforts to be a more diverse and welcoming community. “Our task as a University is to welcome all to join our community based on their talents. This task is not a simple one and there will be setbacks and challenges along the way. But I am convinced that progress in achieving greater diversity is vital to our success as a great research University,” Seligman says.</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/diversityReportMay2008.pdf"><strong>2008 Annual Report on Diversity</strong></a></h4> <p>The 2007–2008 academic year saw small, but measurable progress in the University of Rochester’s efforts to be a more diverse and welcoming community. While I am pleased with the progress so far, we still have far to go. To accelerate these efforts, I have asked Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity Lynne Davidson to work full time on diversity and inclusiveness issues beginning July 1, 2008.</p> <h4><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pdfs/president/diversity-reports/DiversityReportJun2007.pdf"><strong>First Annual Report on Diversity, June 2007</strong></a></h4> <p>I am delighted to provide the University of Rochester community the First Annual Report on Diversity. During the 2006-07 academic year, the University of Rochester began a new faculty diversity initiative and continued to make progress on an existing staff diversity program and various school-based efforts to increase the diversity of our student population. Because the faculty effort is the newest element of the University’s overall diversity and inclusion program, this report focuses primarily on that component.</p> <hr /> <h3><a href="#misconduct">SEXUAL MISCONDUCT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE REPORTS</a></h3> <h4><a href="//www.rochester.edu/diversity/reports/2018-report-on-sexual-misconduct-prevention-response/"><strong>2017-2018 Report on Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response</strong></a></h4> <p>The University is committed to providing a safe environment to work, learn, live, and socialize together without fear of sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination. The purpose of this report, released publicly for the first time, is to educate the University community about what the University does to prevent sexual misconduct and how the University detects and responds to reports of it. The Title IX Office is a resource for all members of the University community; however, this report primarily focuses on students’ experiences with the office.</p> <hr /> <h3><a href="#bias">BIAS RELATED INCIDENT REPORTS</a></h3> <h4><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/reports/2018-college-bias-related-incident-report/"><strong>The College: 2016–2018 Bias-Related Incident Report</strong></a></h4> <p>This is the College’s first public report on bias-related incidents since a reporting system launched in 2016. It covers two academic years: 2016–2017 and 2017–2018; moving forward, the College will provide annual reports on the status of bias-related incidents on campus.</p> <hr /> </div>  </div>  </section>  </div>  <footer class="site-footer"> <div class="strategicPlanWrapper"> <div class="strategicPlan grid-container"> <div class="strategicPlanTitle"> <div class="strategicPlanTitle-1">Boundless</div> <div class="strategicPlanTitle-2"> Possibility</div> <div class="dashedCurveWrapper"> <svg class="dashedCurveWide" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="706" height="115" viewBox="0 0 706 115" fill="none"> <path d="M2.01538 2C100.102 71.7479 221.529 113 353 113C484.471 113 605.898 71.7478 703.985 2" stroke="#FFC70A" stroke-width="3" stroke-dasharray="15 13" /> </svg> <svg class="dashedCurveNormal" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="550" height="117" viewBox="0 0 550 117" fill="none"> <path d="M-51.1062 58.1506C30.5248 101.649 139.408 123.046 256.384 112.07C373.361 101.094 476.363 59.8156 548.478 1.89161" stroke="#FFC70A" stroke-width="3" stroke-dasharray="15 13" /> </svg> <svg class="dashedCurveMobile" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="700" height="62" viewBox="0 0 375 62" fill="none"> <path d="M-41 2C17.592 37.8473 98.3412 60 187.5 60C276.659 60 357.408 37.8473 416 2" stroke="#FFC70A" stroke-width="3" stroke-dasharray="15 13" /> </svg> </div> </div> <div class="strategicPlanExplore"> <a href="https://boundless.rochester.edu/" class="strategicPlanLink"> <p>Explore our 2030 Strategic Plan</p> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="site-footer__inner grid-container"> <div class="site-footer__block site-footer__block--contact"> <a class="logo__wrap logo__wrap--footer" href="https://www.rochester.edu" rel="home" title="University of Rochester Homepage"> <img class="logo" src="https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/wp-content/themes/ur-lite/assets/img/ur-logo-white.svg" alt="University of Rochester" /> </a> <div class="contact-info"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/maps/" class="contact-info__link contact-info__link--map"> <i class="icon fas icon-map-marker-alt"></i> <div class="information"> <span class="contact-info__link-label"> See maps and directions </span> <span class="contact-info__details"> Rochester, NY 14627 </span> </div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="site-footer__block site-footer__block--nav"> <div class="site-footer__search-wrap"> <div class="search__form"> <form method="get" class="search-form" data-js="search-form" action="https://www.rochester.edu/search/index.php"> <label class="search__label" for="s-67ba709f5a51e"> Search rochester.edu </label> <div class="search__input-wrap"> <input type="text" id="s-67ba709f5a51e" class="search__input" name="q" placeholder="Search rochester.edu" /> <button aria-label="Submit Search" class="search-form__submit" type="submit"> <i class="icon icon-search"></i> </button> </div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="site-footer__nav-wrap"> <nav class="site-footer__nav" aria-label="Footer"> <ol> <li class="site-footer__nav-item"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/accessibility.html"> Accessibility </a> </li> <li class="site-footer__nav-item"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/eoc/nondiscrimination-statement/"> Nondiscrimination </a> </li> <li class="site-footer__nav-item"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/copyright.html"> Copyright </a> </li> <li class="site-footer__nav-item"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/emergency/"> Emergency Information </a> </li> <li class="site-footer__nav-item"> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/aboutus/mission.html"> Vision & Values </a> </li> </ol> </nav> </div> </div> </div> <div class="copyright"> © University of Rochester 1996-2025 </div> </footer> <div id="search-modal" data-js="search-modal" class="masthead__search" aria-labelledby="toggle-search"> <div class="search__modal grid-container"> <div class="search__form"> <form method="get" id="search-wrapper" class="search-form" data-js="search-form" action="https://www.rochester.edu/search/index.php"> <div class="search__input-wrap"> <label class="search__label" data-js="search-label" for="swq-67ba709f5aaf5"> Search Office of Equity and Inclusion </label> <input type="text" id="swq-67ba709f5aaf5" class="form-control search-form__query" name="q" data-js="search-query" value="" placeholder="Search Office of Equity and Inclusion" /> <button class="search-form__submit" type="submit" aria-label="Submit Search"> <span class="button-text"> Search </span> </button> </div> <div class="dynamic_content"> </div> </form> </div> </div> </div>  <noscript ><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-TT7PP8Z" height="0" width="0" style="display: none;
