Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We are committed to cultivating an inclusive environment for our coaches, staff, student-athletes, and community. We are continuously working to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion by creating programs and initiatives that promote and uplift those who have been and continue to be marginalized.

We have identified 8 core values that we believe represent a culture here at LSU that we are proud to be a part of as we continue to listen and learn.

Excellence. Integrity. Authenticity. Perseverance. Respect. Equity. Growth. Service.

COUNCILS

Four organizations have been formed within Athletics to develop strategies that will enhance the understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion:

Each of these groups work to help us create an equitable and transformational athletics program. The purpose of each council is to come together to foster an atmosphere that seeks and cultivates a diversity of people and perspectives while promoting equity and inclusion.

Racial Climate Survey

The death of George Floyd in May 2020 was a catalyst for social and institutional change within LSU Athletics. The department’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion began following the results of the Racial Climate Survey where 232 full-time employees responded to questions relevant to the general workplace environment, racial/ethnic discrimination in the workplace, efforts related to diversity and inclusion, and the social environment surrounding topics related to activism and police brutality.

Since then, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has been and will continue to be a priority in everything we do.
