What does DEI Mean to Criminal Justice? Diversity: accepting a variety of people from different backgrounds. Equity: fair and impartial treatment no matter race, religion, gender, etc. Inclusion: giving a voice, power, and authority to a variety of people.

Forward Together. Leading the Change.

Inclusion is the engine that drives the value and practice of diversity. Inclusive excellence is the difference that brings about change and innovation. The College of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University is committed to diversity and the acceptance of talents, worldviews, perceptions, cultures, and skills that enhance teaching and learning.

Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion is how we leverage our collective power to lead change and move forward together.
