- Abstract:
- This project explores the practice and the animating documents of Barry University in dialogue with magisterial teaching on the primacy of the dignity of all persons to propose the inclusion of sexual orientation as a protected status in the non-discrimination clause of the University as a whole and in its various divisions, departments, and documents. Drawing from the Mission and Vision of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, founders and sponsors of Barry University, and the Mission Statement and Core Commitments of the University, this project sets forth a vision of Barry University as a completely inclusive community, both in practice and in its public portrayal of itself. The project reports the results of two surveys: first, of the Barry community with regard to its perceptions of the inclusive environment at Barry; second, of 249 other Catholic colleges and universities in the United States and their inclusive stance as revealed by their non-discrimination clauses. Based on these data, this thesis advances five critical principles and accompanying policies which advocate measures that safeguard and ensure an environment where it can be stated and demonstrated unequivocally that “All Are Welcome in this place.”
