Inclusion at Paris College of Art

As an institution, we are committed to continuously work on creating a more inclusive climate at PCA, where each member feels welcome, respected and treated fairly inside and outside the classroom.

PCA is committed to equal opportunity in education and employment, and prohibits discrimination against and harassment of any student, applicant, employee, or community member because of race; color; national or ethnic origin; age; religion; disability; sexual orientation; gender; gender identity and expression; genetics; veteran status; and any other characteristic protected under applicable law. We expect all PCA employees, students, and community members to join with and uphold this commitment. 

A campus climate is a work in progress, that relies on the participation of all. It necessarily leads to difficult discussions and hard realizations. To build towards a truly inclusive community is worth those efforts and more. Not only will we change our culture, we will also, as individuals, be stronger and better equipped to promote equity and equality in other spheres of our lives.

All members of the PCA community are also welcome to join the Diversity and Inclusion Committee at PCA. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee at PCA was founded in spring 2020.The Committee is made up of students, staff and faculty members with a shared goal to promote inclusion and diversity on campus, and to address issues of equity within the PCA community. In order to carry out this mission, the Committee acts as a dedicated safe space where members can express their concerns openly and honestly through nonviolent communication. The reflections of the members serve to educate the wider committee, and bring about important change.
If you are interested in joining the committee, please contact: inclusion@paris.edu.
