Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

SUNY Adirondack has a culture in which everyone can be their authentic selves. 

SUNY Adirondack is steadfast in its commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive community of belonging for all to thrive by promoting and supporting the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion. The various perspectives, experiences and knowledge gained from DEI practices provide multifaceted aspects of the human condition and, in turn, enable us to become better informed and educated.

Statement

SUNY Adirondack respects the constitutionally protected rights of freedom of expression for all, however, these rights cannot disrupt and/or create an unsafe environment that infringes on others rights to effectively learn and work.

To ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors, SUNY Adirondack, along with all SUNY campuses, have established content-neutral time, place and manner restriction policies. These policies enable students and other community members to have their voices heard in a peaceful manner regarding any issue, regardless of subject or viewpoint, without disrupting the college’s ability to provide instruction, events and other important services to our students and community.

Civil discourse and respectful debate is encouraged and expected within and outside the classroom. We believe in the power of knowledge to help us learn and grow, but not at the expense of others. We invite all campus community members to participate in these opportunities when presented and to enter these spaces with an open mind and open heart. 

With your help, we can create a campus community environment that respects the rights of all to be heard and respected, while rejecting behaviors and actions that seek to divide us.
