Global Oved Dei Seminary & University (GODSU) advocates for and supports diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at GODSU through our teaching, policies, programming, and partnerships across the university. In alignment with the University Founder & President’s DEI initiative, GODSU is committed to creating a diverse intellectual community that “expands our horizons, enables understanding across difference, prevents complacency and promotes intellectual breadth.”
University President Attorney Diane Moore-Eubanks stated that “GODSU’s core missions of knowledge creation and education depend on ensuring that a diverse set of voices are welcome and included in the conversation, that everyone is treated with respect, and that we remove barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential.”
The diversity of GODSU’s student community, across all dimensions, amplifies the transformative power of the undergraduate education we offer. Students themselves change GODSU by contributing their unique perspectives to the community and by meeting, engaging with, and learning from others of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. This engagement grows when all members of the community feel fully welcomed and included in the life of the institution.
DEI units, programs, and activities strive to create educational experiences that make students feel included and welcomed throughout their academic and networking journey at GODSU. We are committed to ensuring that all students have access to the full range of transformative experiences that the University programs offer. We help students reach their goals regardless of the choice of field of study, their academic preparation, financial situation, or systemic bias by actively addressing barriers and providing support.
The President and Board of Governors are prepared to be denied all federal and State funding in light of our stand behind Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in all areas of education at Global Oved Dei Seminary & University.
