The University of Tokyo has adopted the University of Tokyo Charter and the University of Tokyo Statement on Diversity & Inclusion and guarantees that all members of our community are free from discrimination, based on our recognition of the importance of having diversity in our constituent members. As a part of our efforts to realize these principles, after gathering feedback from the university community the University formulated and published the Guidelines for Students on Diversity of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity at the University of Tokyo in February 2024.
These guidelines themselves are subject to revision as appropriate with the changing times, while maintaining our basic stance of recognizing and respecting diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. With that in mind, the University of Tokyo has revised the guidelines for students and formulated the Guidelines on Diversity in Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity at the University of Tokyo, which now applies to all members of the University community.
The University of Tokyo strongly desires to enable “people of diverse origins and backgrounds” to “expand their horizons through interaction and dialogue with one another” and to “create an attractive and inclusive campus” in order to realize “a university that anyone in the world would want to join” (quotations from UTokyo Compass). We will work together with all members of the University community to create an environment where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can feel secure and comfortable in learning, working, and all campus activities, based on the fundamental principles of respecting diversity and promoting inclusion.
