DEI Statement:

The Academic and Teaching Committee of the Graduate Professional Student Congress believes equality is crucial in promoting a safe, supportive learning environment for people of varying abilities, ages, races, ethnicities, religious affiliations, genders, sexualities, political stances, or socioeconomic status. To create such learning environments, we support providing whatever accommodations necessary to promote equality in ways that are accessible to all learners. The Academic & Teaching Committee is devoted to using inclusive practices that create a feeling of belonging, safety, and support for all students at the University of Arkansas.
