EMU Today

Affirmative Action is one of a number of practices across the country that has helped to diversify campuses and offer opportunities to people and communities who have traditionally been underrepresented. It has had a powerful impact on higher education and a vast number of students, faculty, and staff across time. Without question, it is one of a set of tools that has helped create campus communities that reflect what businesses and industry need in today’s global, diverse economy.

Universities like Eastern Michigan will continue to lead on the diversity front — we have a long history of proactively building and maintaining a diverse living and learning community without having to offer a specialized enrollment opportunity. We have every expectation that Eastern's deep and impactful diversity work will continue for decades to come.
