DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION PLAN
The overarching priorities that emerged from the committees’ work are:
SHARED PRIORITIES
1. Recruit, hire and retain talented faculty and staff that contribute to our diversity and inclusion goals.
2. Recruit, enroll, retain
3. Expand an inclusive college community environment.
and graduate talented undergraduate and graduate students that contribute to our diversity and inclusion goals.
Our strategic plan reports on where we are now, describes where we want to be in 5–10 years and presents concrete strategies for how we can get there. It is intended to be a living document that will be revisited and updated.
VALUES STATEMENT We value diversity, equity and inclusion because diverse institutions function better than homogenous ones and because providing equal opportunity for all is a moral imperative. We will, therefore, strive to build a community that fosters and values equity, inclusion and dignity for all. We will strive to promote a culture of respect, scholarship, innovation and integrity, and we will strive to advance talented minds from diverse backgrounds. We will work to achieve these goals by implementing concrete practices at the center of our daily work that minimize bias and support diversity, by holding ourselves accountable to show progress and by attending to and revising these practices relentlessly. STATEMENT OF ASSURANCE, EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION Equal employment opportunity, non-discrimination and affirmative action are all fundamental components of diversity, equity and inclusion. Consistent with the University’s Statement of Assurance and Equal Employment Opportunity / Affirmative Action Policy , Carnegie Mellon University’s Dietrich College ofHumanities and Social Sciences does not discriminate in admission, employment, or administration of programs or activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, ancestry, belief, veteran status, or genetic information. DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION DEFINED The terminology used in plans for diversity, equity and inclusion can vary and be interchangeable. To insure the framework for this plan is understood by its readers, we have agreed to this shared understanding of its terminology that is guided by university leadership.
