Cav Nation,
As our Academic Year winds down with our final summer session, we remain committed to continuing the numerous conversations on campus regarding diversity and inclusion, including important conversations about human dignity, the racial divide, and support for LGBTQIA+ students.
These are important discussions for every Catholic educational institution as we seek to further our distinctively Catholic educational philosophy – grounded in our understanding of human nature and living a just and purpose-filled life – with a commitment to being a university welcoming students, staff, coaches, and faculty of all faith traditions and lived experiences.
These conversations with stakeholders and constituencies across the university family and in our surrounding community highlight the on-going need for reflection and encourage a strong, campus-wide effort to further our naturally inclusive community culture while remaining true to our alignment with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Your university leadership team continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with constituencies across Cav Nation and beyond on how we can best enhance the support for our diverse student body and to accompany them on their journey in a meaningful and all-encompassing way.
Building upon our current work, we can, must, and will do more.
Today we are announcing additional steps to foster an even more inclusive Walsh University community of belonging – one of our core values!
These additional steps are not exhaustive, and we look forward to working with coaches, faculty, staff, and students as well as alumni and members of the local community to enhance and further mature the “Walsh experience.”
Accompaniment and faithfulness to a Catholic worldview will continue to guide us in all our efforts.
