Office of Inclusive Excellence
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at George Fox University
A safe space to support those with disabilities, celebrate our diversity, pursue equity, advocate for inclusion, and care for those under Title IX protections
Our office stands alongside those who have experienced discrimination and hardship, not because of policy or obligation, but because the gospel of Christ calls us to love our neighbors and proactively participate in his work of restoring shalom.

It is the gospel that leads us to denounce racism and systems of oppression, to protect and care for the emotional, spiritual and physical well-being of our students, and to extend dignity and honor to each person. George Fox was built upon these biblical principles, and we strive to live them out with humility, care and excellence. It’s one of the many ways we live out our Be Known promise. Read our Theology of Racial and Ethnic Diversity to learn more.
The Office of Inclusive Excellence integrates the values of diversity, equity and inclusion into the policies, practices and culture of our university. We recognize that our success at spiritual, academic and professional preparation of our students requires these biblical values to be embedded into the life and function of our school and are rooted in our understanding of what it means to be a Christ-centered community.
We work to uphold the dignity of all members of our community celebrating racial and ethnic diversity, and provide a safe and inclusive environment free of gender-based discrimination, harassment and violence, while providing equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
