OIIR's Mission
The Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations (OIIR) seeks to improve campus climate by providing transformative learning experiences to the Illinois community that result in an appreciation for diversity and cross cultural engagement. OIIR contributes to the academic mission of the University by providing students educational opportunities about the various dimensions of diversity and intersections of identities.
OIIR Statement
Dear Campus Community,
Recently, e-mails have been sent to various campus units and leaders of student organizations claiming to speak on behalf of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations (OIIR). These e-mails were not sent or written by OIIR and they are not endorsed by any member of the OIIR staff. To be clear, our approach to addressing issues of discrimination and improving campus climate does not involve blaming any person or group.
As a unit, OIIR believes in working collaboratively with students, faculty and staff to build understanding and create a more inclusive campus environment. We believe that we all share responsibility for creating an inclusive campus environment so we welcome everyone in the campus community to participate in a dialogue of dignity and respect for one another.
