Any complaint of discrimination will be reviewed within the University's general grievance procedure.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

At Piedmont University, Diversity is recognizing and embracing that each individual is unique and recognizing their individual differences. These differences include, but are not limited to: ethnicity, race, language, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, age, military experience diversities, and national origin.

At Piedmont University, Equity is recognizing and embracing that we don’t all start from the same place and there are uneven starting places. We acknowledge these uneven places and seek to correct the imbalance.

At Piedmont University, Inclusion is recognizing and embracing we are “one” and every student, staff, and faculty member is valued, respected, and treated with dignity regardless of their differences.

At Piedmont University, we are committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for all.

We encourage all students to commit to:

Supporting efforts to make Piedmont University an environment that is Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive for all.

Respecting all students, faculty, and staff, regardless of race, age, national origin, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual identity, or ability status.

Affirming the value of civility in my interactions with all members of the Piedmont University community.
