The Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs at the University of Maine at Fort Kent's position on diversity stems from the mission and value statements of the institution, as well as statements and broader philosophies contained in the University of Maine at Fort Kent Strategic Plan 2003-2008.

The Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs appreciates the value and enrichment which a diverse student body, faculty and staff provide the institution. It is the position of the Office that an educational community possessing members of varied races, religions, creeds, ethnicities, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, and the like enriches the educational experience based upon the diversity of perspective in the classroom. Outside of the classroom, this same diversity allows students, staff and faculty to grow socially based upon interactions between members of the educational community.

Beyond simply adhering to federal and state regulations regarding diversity, it is the hope and expectation of the Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs that the institution will pro-actively seek to recruit students, staff and faculty that add to the diversity of the campus community.
