Priority #2: Create an authentic and empowering culture of equity, inclusion, and anti-racism by embracing our diversity

With this priority, we aim to achieve the following desired outcomes:

…convening the President’s Equity Council regularly to prioritize development of a strategic DEI plan based on campus input; completing a DEI mapping project to ensure a comprehensive and systemwide approach; and hiring a new University Diversity Officer to focus on creating a culture of equity and inclusion on campus and beyond

 Recruit and retain diverse faculty and staff by taking actions like…

…allocating faculty positions and proactively marketing to strong candidates from underrepresented groups; create an equitable hiring process by training search committees in inherent bias and developing inclusive interview questions; and update policies to appropriately reward DEI service, research, and scholarship

Eliminate systemic racism and other biases in policies and practices by taking actions like…

…developing a rubric and establishing a committee to review all policies and procedures in policy inventory for biases; revising course evaluation tool to include equity questions for student input; and reviewing and improving courses where completion gaps exist for underserved student populations

Foster culturally responsive teaching practices and work environment by taking actions like…

…allocating funding for course content redesign and incorporation of equitable teaching methods; launching more robust and well-marketed cultural month events to celebrate our diverse student body, faculty, and staff; and providing DEI sensitivity training for all supervisors and other university leaders
