4. What we believe - Diversity Statement • Loyola University Chicago’s Jesuit Catholic Heritage is founded in equality much like the relationship of God with each and every one of us, of love, care, and oneness. • Our commitment to diversity comes from Ignatius himself and the Jesuit belief that God is to be found in the “other,” — in the person, the place, the culture, the context and the human experience that differs from one’s own.  • The end goal of diversity on our campuses is not simply a representation of the beauty of “otherness,” of diversity. Rather, we recognize a common unity that anchors and enlivens our commitment to inclusion and creates brave spaces for dialogue to happen, through initiatives that educate the masses.  Loyola university Chicago
