PU's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are governed by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC), which sets policy, and carried out day-to-day by the University Diversity Office (UDO). Together they ensure programs and support are open to all — students, faculty, and staff — regardless of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or economic circumstance.

Any member of the PU community can reach out to the UDO directly.

Initiatives
The UDO collaborates with student clubs and societies advancing DEI goals, and is currently developing a structured DEI and human rights training program to roll out to staff, faculty, and student leaders in the coming academic year.
