Diversity and Inclusion
IN EARTH SCIENCES
“The present Earth and space scientific community does not reflect the true diversity of the people that inhabit our planet. This population disparity is especially seen within the US scientific community. Women, racial and ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities are under-represented as scientists when compared with their proportions within society. Thus, valuable human resources, that can bring insights, perspectives, and talents into our programs, are not being given the opportunity to add to the knowledge base of science.” - AGU Diversity Plan
IN TULANE UNIVERSITY
"Tulane recognizes diversity as a central component in achieving desired student learning outcomes, and it puts diversity and inclusion efforts at the center of its decision-making. To reach this academic higher ground, diversity, inclusion, and equity initiatives must be fundamentally linked to the educational mission." - Tulane's Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Statement
