The Department of Romance Studies states in the strongest terms our commitment to inclusivity and diversity and our ongoing determination to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all faculty, students, staff, and guests of the department, regardless of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status. In doing so we emphatically and unequivocally endorse the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s policy statement on non-discrimination. Moreover, our life-long dedication to the informed and critical study of languages, literatures, and cultures in all their complexity requires us to reject the spirit and logic behind any form of discrimination on any such grounds as those listed above.
