Through our study, teaching, research, creativity, and administration, the Department of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shares music’s multiplicity of forms and meanings, connecting the study of music to the larger understanding of the world, and affirming music’s importance as an expression of humanity across differences. We engage with all students, colleagues, patrons, and musical repertories with respect and humility, and with an awareness of the privilege and power that comes with being associated with a university, particularly a historically and predominantly white institution. The Department of Music is thus committed to being inclusive in its mission, vision, and values. Anti-discrimination, anti-racism, and efforts to promote equity broadly speaking are integral to, and instrumental within, the operation of our mission. Our faculty, students, and staff espouse the idea that all groups are equal, and support policies that reduce inequality and promote equity in the study of music across color, ability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, and veteran status.
