Welcome to the Core Values Conversation!
At the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), our core values are more than words, they are our way of life — the demonstration of what we stand for and the guide for our behaviors. Our core values of Respect and Integrity, Well-Being and Sustainability, Equity and Justice, and Innovation and Discovery are at the heart of our mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good of Maryland and society at-large.
From now through the end of April, we will be highlighting UMB’s core value of Equity and Justice — We embrace and are committed to diversity, and we value inclusive and just communities. We oppose racism and oppression in all their forms.
This is an opportunity to engage with this core value in an intentional way and share your insights with the UMB community.
Question 1: How do you define equity, and how does it differ from equality?
Responses will be posted to the core values webpage by the end of April.
