• The New School is committed to ensuring an equitable, inclusive, and socially just environment for all students, staff, and faculty. This goal arises from our legacy and is carried forward today in new contexts and with new relevance and urgency. It is upheld by our students, staff, and faculty, who reflect our society's diversity of thought and identity. Increasingly, it informs our approaches to pedagogy, policies, and practice.

    These efforts take focus, examination, robust participation, and shared commitment. Work to advance equity, inclusion, and social justice (EISJ) at The New School occurs in and across all parts of the university, with society as our mirror and our values and principles as our guide. We look forward to sharing strategy, initiatives, programs, policies, reports, and other efforts that advance EISJ at The New School.

  • Climate Assessment

    In 2018–2019, The New School conducted a campus climate assessment to understand the experiences, needs, and values of our students, faculty, and staff. This report helped us focus our efforts.
