| Mission
Statement Princeton University is a community devoted to learning. We actively seek students, faculty, and staff of exceptionally ability and promise who share in our commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarship and who bring a diversity of viewpoints and cultures. By incorporating a broad range of human experiences and a rich variety of human perspectives, we enlarge our capacity for learning, enrich the quality and texture of campus life, and better prepare for life and leadership in a pluralistic society. As a community, we respect the dignity, individuality, and freedom of each member. At the same time, we strive to be a place where individuals and groups learn with and from each other. We aim to foster a sense of shared experience and common purpose, along with a collective responsibility for each other's well-being and for the well-being of the University as a whole. Although we acknowledge the difficulties inherent in creating a community of individuals who are different from each other, we remain unwavering in our commitment to both diversity and community in a context of academic excellence. We seek to enable all members of this community to pursue their educational, scholarly, and career interests in an environment that recognizes both the distinctiveness of each person's experience and the common humanity that unites us all, and permits us to take full educational advantage of the variety of talents, backgrounds, and perspectives of those who live and work here. Princeton University is committed to ensuring that students, faculty, and staff are able to pursue their academic and employment goals in an environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and harassment, including racial and ethnic harassment. Racial and ethnic harassment are prohibited by University policy as well as by State and Federal law. Each member of the University community is encouraged to assist in sustaining an environment free from harassment and discrimination and to challenge expressions of racial or ethnic bias whenever they occur. |
