Teachers College Diversity Mission Statement:

To establish Teachers College as an institution that actively attracts support, and retains diverse students, faculty, and staff at all levels demonstrated through its commitment to social justice, its respectful and vibrant community, and its encouragement and support of each individual in the achievement of his or her full potential.

Teachers College Non-Discrimination Policy:

Continuing its long-standing policy to support active equality for all persons, Teachers College does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, citizenship status, veteran status, disability, pregnancy, gender expression or any other criterion specified by federal, state or local laws, in the administration of its admissions, employment and educational policies or scholarship, loan, athletic and other school-administered programs.
