Diversity Statements of Various Higher Education Institutions

Seattle University as SeattleU (2008) highlights was started up in the year 1891. It is ranked as one of the most diverse institutions in the Northwest region. In a bid to achieve its goal of impacting on the professional lives of the individuals that enroll in the programs that the institution offers, Seattle University is driven by the inspiration of the Jesuit Catholicism, and its bid to serve the society as a whole.

On the other hand, the University of South Florida was built on the pillar of the provision of teaching and research activities, and engaging with the members of the community in which it is located. Provision of these services is irrespective of the race, marital status, and physical ability, sexual orientation among other aspects of diverse characteristics (University of South Florida System 2012).

According to the diversity statement provided by Seattle University, to excel in education which is their core function, the aspect of diversity must be put pressure upon and should be a key policy of the institution. The institution notes through the same statement that it is only in an environment that is diverse that students get to acquire education in the most appropriate manner. Relatively, this is of great help to the same students who are being prepared to work and provide leadership in the world characterized by diversity (SeattleU 2008).

The ideas of diversity in the University’s environment communicated by Seattle University are equally voiced by the University of South Florida. The institution highlights the need for the incorporation of diversity in the system of education. University of South Florida System observes that if there are respect and appreciation for the aspects of diversity, the teaching and learning of students would be enhanced.

One thing that stands out in the diversity statements of both institutions is that both agree that promoting diversity in their environments prepares the students to work in the professional world that is diverse in nature. They also note that the promotion of diversity enhances learning.
