Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Function Statement
小黄鸭视频's Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion works to collaborate with all areas of the university to promote justice, equity, diversity and inclusion for our community. This involves working with offices and departments throughout our university to critically examine our institutional culture, policies and practices for ways that we are perpetuating social inequities, restricting access for a diverse community to flourish, or creating environments where people are not treated with full dignity or do not feel safe to be their authentic selves. Through education and training we work to 1) raise awareness regarding structures and systems of oppression and marginalization, 2) foster a community that welcomes and supports cultural diversity, and 3) provide opportunities for our community members to build competencies to continually develop and implement equity-minded policies and practices in all areas of our university. We ground our work in our Christian mission and aim to integrate it throughout our university by forming partnerships with faculty, staff, students and our external community, recognizing their role as co-creators of knowledge and institutional change.
