Campus Culture
Diversity
We believe that diversity offers a powerful voice of inclusion, a platform for respect and discovery, and a portal that leads to personal enrichment and growth.
Texas Tech University is committed to the inherent dignity of all individuals and the celebration of diversity.
We foster an environment of mutual respect, appreciation, and tolerance for differing values, beliefs, and backgrounds.
We encourage the application of ethical practices and policies that ensure that all are welcome on the campus and are extended all of the privileges of academic life.
We value the cultural and intellectual diversity of our university because it enriches our lives and the community as a whole, promoting access, equity, and excellence.
Texas Tech faculty and staff have started several campus programs and organizations that help foster a diverse culture and environment, including:
- Arab American Faculty Forum
- Black Faculty And Staff Association
- Chinese Faculty & Staff Association
- Latino/Hispanic Faculty & Staff Association
- Student Government Association
- The Women's Studies Program
Additionally, Texas Tech currently hosts the National Registry of Diverse & Strategic Faculty. The Registry is a free service designed to help connect current and prospective faculty members from underrepresented groups with institutions of higher education seeking to hire qualified candidates for open faculty positions.
