In the wake of today’s Supreme Court ruling, Penn State remains resolute that diversity among students, faculty and staff deepens the educational experience Penn State offers and the range of opportunities the University’s students enjoy. People with differing perspectives and from different backgrounds — be they racial or ethnic, financial, geographic, or cultural, to name a few — greatly contribute to the academic discourse that is vital to higher education. We remain committed to enhancing the diversity of our academic community, and believe higher education provides enormous personal, professional and societal benefits and should be accessible to students from as many different backgrounds as possible.
