UW Human Resources (UWHR) upholds the University’s long-standing commitment to diversity, understood as ensuring access and opportunity for all individuals — regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, or other protected characteristics. UWHR is dedicated to a future where all staff are valued, and inclusive and equitable practices are embedded in the culture of who we are as an institution and employer. Our community strives to create and maintain working and learning environments where people from all backgrounds and experiences can fully participate, thrive academically and professionally, and feel a sense of belonging.

UWHR supports these efforts by providing the University community with policy, training, and data-driven solutions. UWHR leadership welcomes and embraces collaboration and relies on all University employees to help guide our thinking and actions.
