Princeton University Library (PUL) is committed to building a culture in which people of all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives feel valued as individuals. We recognize that our varied cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, languages, physical and neurocognitive abilities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, geographic origins, and other ways in which we identify ourselves are among PUL’s greatest strengths.

To ensure our success, we commit to:

1. Building an inclusive environment for all members of our community.
2. Creating inclusive physical and digital spaces.
3. Communicating with PUL staff on a regular basis and encouraging feedback. 
4. Developing and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion educational programming in collaboration with institutional partners.
5. Reviewing and updating this statement as appropriate.

Creating an environment where people feel they can be their authentic selves is a continuous responsibility. It is our collective responsibility to build a culture that recognizes and celebrates the richness inherent in our individual identities, diverse perspectives, and myriad backgrounds.

Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
