UIC College of Dentistry reaffirms commitment to access, equity and inclusivity
In light of the recent Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. (SFAI) v. President and Fellows of Harvard and SFAI v. University of North Carolina, the university system issued a statement a reiterating our collective commitment to access, equity and inclusion.
UIC values the contributions and perspectives of individuals from all backgrounds and firmly believes that a diverse and inclusive community enhances the university experience for everyone at UIC – students, faculty, and staff alike – and promotes our ability to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. As an institution, our priority is to ensure that our policies and practices align with the court’s decision while still upholding our mission to provide a transformative educational experience that prepares students to be leaders and engaged global citizens.
UIC’s mission is to provide the broadest possible access to the highest levels of educational, research, and clinical excellence.
We are resolute in our commitment to that mission.
