The Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice

The New School is committed to ensuring an equitable, inclusive, and socially just environment for all students, staff, and faculty. This goal arises from our legacy and is carried forward today in new contexts and with new relevance and urgency. It is upheld by our students, staff, and faculty, who reflect our society's diversity of thought and identity.
These efforts take focus, examination, robust participation, and shared commitment. Work to advance equity, inclusion, and social justice (EISJ) at The New School occurs in and across all parts of the university. It is integrated into our curriculum, pedagogy, programming, and centers and institutes.
