At our School, diversity and inclusion mean we welcome, value and learn from individual differences and perspectives.

By cultivating inclusion within the School, we better prepare our
students, faculty, and staff for the diverse world that awaits them. A
globally-interconnected world needs culturally competent people to serve
as its leaders. Diversity and inclusion are assets that contribute to
our excellence.

Diversity and inclusion are essential components of academic excellence.
| |
| |
To address diversity and inclusion issues in a meaningful and
significant manner, we formed a Diversity and Inclusion Task Force
in November 2010.
|
The DITF completed its report in September 2011, and the School's leaders are acting on
some of the highest priority recommendations, listed below. In addition
to the Dean's Council Statement of Commitment, other highest priority recommendations are:
- Share/develop best practices between departments (starting with admissions); and
- Draft a model/process for spreading diversity and inclusion principles and practices.
Other actions will
follow. A smaller committee, called DITF-I (PDF) and comprised of volunteers
from DITF, is moving forward to help steer the implementation process
through 2012.
