The School of Fashion recommends that the faculty includes the following statements on their syllabi:
Diversity, Equity, + Inclusion Statement: "The College of the Arts is a community that supports and encourages creativity; in that, we welcome all students to express themselves fully. We believe that diversity is critically important because we grow and become inspired from the influence of each others' varied perspectives. The College of the Arts is an advocate for students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first-generation students, students with differing abilities, students from all economic backgrounds, international students, as well as students of all ethnicities and cultures. It is our goal to provide a welcoming space where every student can perform at their maximum capacity, become global changemakers and transform the lives of others through their work."
Pronoun + Chosen Name Policy: "I will gladly address you in accordance with your personal identity including name and pronouns. Please advise me of this early in the semester so I may make appropriate changes to my records. For more information about Kent State University’s Chosen Name policy.
