As a global educational institution, we recognize that our impact extends beyond our campuses to the industries that we serve, therefore we must hold ourselves accountable for embedding IDBEA principles and practices in all of our work around the world; reflecting not only who we are but also who we seek to become as a diverse, inclusive, and equitable school community.

Value StatementMessage From Leadership
DEFINING IDBEA
What do we mean by IDBEA at SPS?
Inclusion* - The degree to which diversity is embedded, integrated, and involved.
Diversity* - Diversity is demography and often representational. It is a complex interplay of social identities and issues.
Belonging* - Operationalized when individuals are considered part of the constitutional foundation of an organization or institution. Belonging is achieved when individuals have the ability to critique and hold an institution responsible for advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Equity* - Fairness and parity in distribution of resources based on historical and contemporary differentials that mitigate participation in society.
Access* - Providing equal opportunity, participation, accommodations, and services for community members of all abilities
*Definitions from NYU's Office of Global Inclusion terminology toolkit
