This website is part of the University's priority to advance its commitments to social justice with greater transparency and fuller engagement. A secondary goal of this website includes highlighting the ongoing institutional work that is being led by our community partners, students, faculty, and staff to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice through policy, research, programs, education, and community action.
Social Justice Commitments
Campus-wide actions to build a more inclusive and equitable community
Welcome
Social Justice Matters
Northwestern's commitments to social justice build upon the long-standing history of advocacy and activism of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Many of them have faced marginalization on campus and in society but have remained committed to creating a better Northwestern for all. Our leaders appreciate their dedication and are working in earnest to ensure Northwestern University is more welcoming and equitable.
