INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE AT UF


At the University of Florida, inclusion is one of our six central values and it is the connective tissue that unites all our core values.

Inclusive Excellence


Inclusive excellence is the active process of including and respecting everyone as we strive for excellence and equitable outcomes in all we do at the University of Florida. Daily actions toward Inclusive Excellence are the responsibility of every one of us. 

Inclusive excellence is infused throughout the institution and is managed by several core offices that work in concert to advance this critical core value.

The Office for Accessibility and Gender Equity (OAGE) provides support to anyone affected by gender-based discrimination or violence. We connect Gators to supportive resources, respond to reports, conduct investigations, coordinate resolutions, and lead campus-wide violence prevention and Title IX efforts.
