Bay Path University | Diversity Employer

When Bay Path opened its doors to students in downtown Springfield in 1897, it had a very clear goal: to provide a practical, affordable, and career-oriented education to meet the needs of companies, organizations, and communities. From the beginning, Bay Path prided itself on being entrepreneurial, constantly pushing the boundaries of the academic experience to fit the student. To start them on the road to success. We still do.

Nurturing Our Diversity, Embracing Our Inclusive Future

At Bay Path, maintaining a welcoming campus community to people of all backgrounds has always been a top priority. We firmly believe that individuals of all religions, nationalities, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses have the right to a safe, accepting, and enriching higher education experience.

Our Commitment
We value transparency in communication, and because diversity and campus climate involve every member of the community, we are devoted to sharing all relevant information in regards to diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. In our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, we have developed a multifaceted initiative to create a more accepting campus community.

Diversity Dashboard
Bay Path keeps detailed information regarding demographics and campus climate. This information is compiled from multiple sources, including university records and voluntary surveys. Data is carefully analyzed in order to draw conclusions about what may benefit the University in terms of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our Progress
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Community Council understand that achieving the goals of the Action Plan is a long-term effort, requiring the commitment and support of many in the University community. This page is provided as a way for members of the community to keep apprised of progress on each element of the plan. Additional and more substantive updates will be provided via the range of University communication vehicles.
