Over the past several months, the, or DEI, worked to put the campus鈥檚 commitment to support our communities into practice, particularly in light of the need to address implicit and explicit bias, racism and structural inequalities.
DEI has worked to create a three-part series of tools to address these topics and highlight the recent ways in which the campus is ramping up its plans, particularly in response to the 2020 acknowledgement of racial trauma. The first tool came out Monday (Sept. 21) and the others will be released in the coming weeks.
"DEI wants to ensure that members of our campus community are equipped with tools to take ownership of developing and sustaining a strong, inclusive climate,鈥 Vice Chancellor Renetta Garrison Tull said. 鈥淢oving from, 1) acknowledgement of an issue such as racism, to 2) intent to make an effort toward positive change, to 3) informed actualization of an approach, is much easier when we share foundational values, and work together as a community to respect and protect one another."
鈥楤eing an Ally鈥
Tool No. 1 is titled described as a practical guide to actions that units and individuals can take toward building a more inclusive community, workplace and classroom environment.
