Diversity

UCI is committed to attaining excellence through diversity. Understanding and embracing the contributions people from different backgrounds and ideologies can bring to the university is an important step. Maintaining excellence through diversity requires the development of an environment free from discrimination and harassment and a workforce equipped with culturally competent skills.

Our diversity model infuses richness and nurtures strength in the workplace, focusing on respect for all human differences, including, but not limited to, age, cultural, ethnic, race, international, linguistic, gender, socioeconomic status, educational, religious, sexual orientation and ability/disability. Diversity is valued for bringing a balance in perspective, talent, skill and strengths to the workplace.

Equal employment opportunity is the core concept that unifies diversity and affirmative action efforts: that everyone should have equal access to employment opportunities.

UCI is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
