University of Oregon Course Resources 

Every regular term of the academic year the University of Oregon publishes a course resource page, which includes some ready-made materials to launch courses. Part of this is a “starter syllabus” which has a general outline plus a lot of sample language folks can use when preparing a syllabus.

The University Policy section of the starter syllabus, starting on page 13, has a few different examples of language for:

  • Access and Accommodations

  • Accommodations for Religious Observances

  • Your (Students’) Wellbeing

  • Basic Needs

  • Respect for Diversity

  • Academic Integrity

  • Student Experience Surveys

  • (Designated) Reporting Obligations

  • Academic Disruption due to Campus Emergency

  • Inclement Weather

Clemson University has put together a selection of sample diversity and inclusion statements from different universities.

Brown University also has some suggestions for crafting a diversity statement and some examplesfrom their school and some others.
