Departmental Equity & Inclusion Planning

The Division of Equity & Inclusion provides support for departmental planning efforts as well as a range of tools and resources on data collection, analysis, self-assessment, and goal-setting.

As part of the Academic Program Review process, all academic departments conduct a planning process focused on equity and inclusion. Planning can also be undertaken as a stand-alone project for academic or administrative units. The planning process offers a chance to look broadly at programs and services, faculty and student experience, research, curriculum and teaching, mentoring, graduation and advancement, workplace culture, outreach, and departmental climate — all in relation to the rich range of identity groups and communities the campus serves.

Equity and inclusion plans give units the opportunity to develop shared, aspirational goals and strategies grounded in data, reflection, and dialogue — and to celebrate existing successes while identifying areas for growth over the next several years.
