Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Machinists Institute administration, faculty, staff, and students consider equity, diversity, and inclusion essential elements of a vibrant learning community and integral to our institutional mission.

We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion, diversity, and respect for the many differences that will enrich the Machinists Institute community, including race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, socioeconomic status, national origin, language, sexual orientation, and disability.

 

The Machinists Institute: 

Encourages and welcomes respectful dialogue and exploration of diverse ideas, topics, perspectives, and issues to enrich our learning community.

Promotes equitable access to all in academics, leadership opportunities, and employment, with intentional focus to Universal Design for Learning.

Enhances opportunities by encouraging all to share their cultural experiences and identities, allowing others to learn from this exchange. 

Strives to prepare students from all backgrounds to foster respect, understanding, awareness, pluralism, and cooperation in an increasingly complex, diverse, global society.
