Abstract
University reform encompasses an increased emphasis on the social and emoti onal development of students. In particular, the development of caring, emp athy, and community are emphasized. This team of psychology professors appr oaches the task of university reform by presenting both its philosophy of d iversity inclusion and specific inclusion strategies as means of promoting enhanced development of our students. Although the discipline of psychology is used as an example, the philosophical argument and the strategic approa ches may be applied to other disciplines.
