Diversity Equity Inclusion Strategic Plan_March03_2021

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CONCLUSION We must be intentional and systematic in our approach if we are to make meaningful progress on our diversity, equity and inclusion goals. Students, faculty, staff and alumni have spoken at town halls, submitted petitions, sent emails and shared concerns on social media. We hope this DEI Strategic Plan demonstrates that we have listened. We will continue to do so. We share your commitment to making Dietrich College an organization that values diversity and equity to build an inclusive community.

The following pages provide a more in-depth look at our current state and provide detailed explanations for each goal and strategy. This is a living document that will be revisited and updated over time, and we invite you to provide feedback on this document and our ongoing work. Our shared commitment and work are needed to make real, lasting change. We will continue to test new ideas and have difficult conversations about tough issues. We will listen and learn as we move forward as a community. We believe this plan provides the college with the ability to make incremental progress and focus on continual improvement. It offers strategies that challenge us to reinvent how we educate, work and celebrate as a community. We know that we will rise to this challenge by doing our part and thank all of those who have joined us to move Dietrich College forward.

We share your commitment to making Dietrich College an organization that values diversity, and actively works to assure equity and create

an inclusive community.
