The University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Kinesiology endorses the UW-Madison Institutional Statement on Diversity:
“Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW-Madison.

their identity, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and opinion
enrich the university community.”
