As the leadership team for the NDSU Extension Service, we affirm our
commitment to civil rights laws and requirements, to institutional
equal opportunity and affirmative action policies, and to the creation
of an inclusive and multicultural organization that serves
appropriately all the people of this state. While recognizing the
importance of nondiscrimination, we want this organization to reach
beyond legal requirements to incorporate a recognition and
appreciation of the values and benefits that diversity contributes to
our organization's life and mission.
We also endorse and support our continuing participation in the
Change Agent States Project where we have been involved since its
creation. This effort, coupled with our civil rights compliance, is
the foundation on which we build an organization where each employee,
volunteer, and client is treated with respect and expected to behave
respectfully toward others.
