Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

What does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion mean at Allen?

Diversity is the range of identities that may exist within a given community which may include, but is not limited to: race; ethnicity; national origin; immigration status; geographic location; language; culture; religion; gender; gender identification; sexual orientation; mental and physical ability and attributes; age; marital and parental status; work, education, and life experience; military experience; worldview; and political affiliation.   

Equity is the quality of being fair and just to each person or groups of people in a given community by ensuring that historically underserved and underrepresented populations have reasonable access to opportunities and outcomes.

Inclusion is the act of creating and maintaining an atmosphere that fosters dignity and respect for all individuals.
