Use the Diversity and Ethics Statement Template [DOCX] (DOWNLOAD BELOW)
In preparation for Part 2 of your statement, read the following scenario:
- In the graduate program at Herringbone University, students are allowed only one missed class per semester or they face academic discipline. Three female students have approached you, as the diversity and ethics officer, with a concern about the policy. They explain that they all have young children (as do many students in the program) and getting child care during class times is difficult since some of the classes do not end until 8 in the evening. They feel the policy is unfair, especially since the university does not offer any support, leniency in policy, or childcare options. In addition, the location of the university (an upper-middle-class neighborhood where most children have at least one parent at home) is not where most students live (a neighborhood where most children have two working parents or a single working parent).
Your template submission should meet the following requirements:
- Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
- Number of References: References are not required for this assessment. However, if you do use any references, be sure to cite them. Review Evidence and APA for more information on how to cite your sources.
