The Hebrew University view diversity as a condition for academic excellence and for maximizing human potential in Israeli society. The university seeks to cultivate a community that expresses a wide variety of attitudes, worldviews and cultures. We seek to enable each student to feel wanted and protected and to prosper academically, personally and socially. We seek to expand our ability to learn from and enrich campus life by integrating a variety of lived experiences and perspectives.
The university has a major social role in making higher education available to all groups in Israeli society, narrowing socioeconomic gaps and promoting social mobility. The university also has an educational mission for its students: in order to train our students for citizenship and leadership in a pluralist society, we seek to enable them to encounter and become acquainted with a variety of perspectives and worldviews.
The Hebrew University is committed to academic and research excellence. Therefore, it seeks to ensure that the proportion of all groups in Israeli society among the student body and staff represent their share in the general population. The university is committed to creating and maintaining an academic environment free of discrimination and harassment related to the community, national, ethnic, religious, or sexual identity of students and staff members.
