Campus Policy Supporting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Decree of the Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur (UMKT) regarding the Commitment to Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
That all individuals have the right to fair treatment regardless of background and status.
That Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur, as an institution, has a responsibility to create an inclusive and equitable campus environment amidst diversity.
That the values of Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan, particularly the principles of social justice, respect for human dignity, and the Islamic Code of Life for Muhammadiyah Members, serve as the primary foundation for the university in creating an environment that values equality.
That based on these considerations, it is necessary to stipulate a Rector's Decree regarding campus policies that support equity, respect diversity, and uphold the values of inclusivity.

Equity is the effort to achieve equality for marginalized groups. Equity is not merely about distributing resources equally, but acknowledging disadvantages and power imbalances, and providing genuine pathways to access.
Diversity is the recognition of various human differences, including but not limited to age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, religion/belief, marriage status, refugee status, pregnancy, as well as political background and neurodiversity.
Inclusion is the experience of an individual being able to make a real, meaningful contribution, feel safe, and have a sense of belonging. Every individual must have equal access to the environment and resources (social, physical, and digital), as well as feel supported and valued.
Intersectionality highlights the various overlapping social structures and identities that can create unjust relations if ignored.

To strengthen the university's guiding principles regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion.
To support the university's commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable working and learning culture.
To support the creation of a culture where everyone feels included, heard, and empowered to share their perspectives and uniqueness.
To contribute to a supportive and inclusive environment where every individual can thrive and reach their full potential.
To establish accountability, grievance, and monitoring mechanisms to achieve these goals.
