The Department of Residential Education at New York University is committed to providing residential communities that celebrate and respect the distinctiveness of each individual person, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, gender expression, ability, or age. The Department of Residential Education will make every possible effort to recruit, select, and train a diversity of staff members, both professional and paraprofessional, who will conduct their practice by serving each student with dignity, respect, and care. With the goal of exposing students to new ideas, peoples, and issues, we will provide programs within the residence halls and within New York City that challenge students to learn and to dialogue about the issues that arise in the multicultural and pluralistic world and university in which we live.
Within this portion of the website, you will find a listing of some of the ways in which we incorporate diversity/social justice into our practice.
