Temple Athletics Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

POSITION STATEMENT
When we are truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive in all that we do, we are strong, dynamic, and innovative. This committee was formed to raise awareness about the need to dismantle systems of oppression in our society. The work begins with us. As an athletic department we will hold ourselves to the highest standards to support and educate student-athletes and each other. Temple Athletics values and embraces diverse perspectives and voices. We are committed to justice and equity in attracting, hiring, and retaining individuals from marginalized and underrepresented groups. As catalysts of anti-racism and other forms of social justice, the DE&I committee strives to continually educate administrators, coaches, staff, and student athletes by allocating resources toward programs, and initiatives that promote a culture of open dialogue and inclusion.
