It shows students that you value and respect difference in intellectual exchange, and are aware of current campus conversations surrounding diversity. The CAS Dean's Office has an example of information to include on your syllabus to help you with this. The CAS Dean's website offers additional helpful information under the Teaching and Learning section including:
Student Success Programs and Services
