"The University seeks qualified students of various talents and backgrounds, including geographic, educational, cultural, ethnic, and racial, who relate together in such a manner that they are “no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.”
University Statement on Fostering an Enriched
Environment
Brigham Young University is committed to a campus
environment that is inclusive, free from discrimination, and reflects the
backgrounds and values of the worldwide LDS Church population. In March 2005,
the Board of Trustees approved and implemented the University Statement on
Fostering an Enriched Environment that describes, in part, the mission of BYU
and the attributes and characteristics of the students it seeks to serve:
"The Mission of Brigham
Young University – founded, supported, and guided by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints – is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection
and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of intensive
learning in a stimulating setting where a commitment to excellence is expected
and the full realization of human potential is pursued."
To this end, the University
seeks qualified students of various talents and backgrounds, including
geographic, educational, cultural, ethnic, and racial, who relate together in
such a manner that they are “no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.” It is the
University’s judgment that providing educational opportunities for a mix of
students who share values based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and come from a
variety of backgrounds and experiences is an important educational asset to
BYU.
