Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access
The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for all members of our university community—and to developing healthcare practitioners who are prepared to serve patients and families across backgrounds and cultures. We’re proud of our diverse student body, faculty and staff, which span all races and ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, sizes and abilities.
- Of students enrolled during the 2020 Fall Term, 37% self-identified as nonwhite, and 70% were women*
- Among our faculty and staff as of 2021 Spring Term, 27.3% self-identified as nonwhite, and 72% were women.**
The charge of our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA) Committee is to facilitate policies, guidelines, initiatives and programs that support the University’s commitment to maintaining a community where all feel a sense of belonging. IDEA encourages respect for diversity of backgrounds, identities, ideas and perspectives, and it deals honestly and constructively with issues of equity and inclusion.
For more information and to learn about opportunities to get involved, please contact the IDEA Committee at [email protected].
