Diversity—the foundation of excellence

As one of the nation’s leading research universities, IU Bloomington not only values the multiple perspectives that diversity adds to the learning environment, it also depends on diversity to achieve excellence in research and innovation. Diversity is foundational to scholarly inquiry and rigorous peer review that leads to new discoveries. In teaching and in research, diversity drives our success.

Established in 2017 as part of IU Bloomington’s Bicentennial Strategic Plan, the Office of the Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion partners with campus leaders to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus.

Our team works closely with the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs and the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to create a learning community where all people are inspired to learn, innovate, and create.
