BYU Enriched Environment Statement

For a mix of students who share values

based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and

come from a variety of backgrounds

and experiences. This is an important

educational asset to BYU.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

PROVIDE

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.

of various talents and backgrounds, including

geographic, educational, cultural, ethnic and racial, who

relate together in such a manner that they are “ no
