Equity Statement

Brite Divinity School is an institution that values diversity and challenges structures that intentionally or unintentionally encourage discrimination. As such, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, social class, age, disability status, citizenship status, membership or application for membership in a uniformed service, or any other category protected by applicable law. Where there are discrepancies with Federal and State policies, they supersede Brite’s policies.

In a recent Lenten meditation, President Cady spoke clearly to Brite’s calling as a Christian institution.

“To be clear, we have non-Christian students (and faculty) from diverse faith backgrounds and no faith background at all. We welcome them not in spite of being Christian, but precisely because of it. In other words, our emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as an institution is not some fleeting response to the fickle winds of societal change, but rather our commitment to the fundamental call of the gospel, which is to love—not some people, but all people...

Will there be negative consequences for holding closely to our Christian commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? Possibly. But to paraphrase Mark’s gospel, what does it profit an institution to gain the world and lose its soul?”
