The intentional work of inclusion is the ongoing engagement with the principles of diversity—in our scholarship, in our curriculum, co-curriculum, business operations, and infrastructure of our institution. This work must be guided by fairness, equity, and respect. These efforts must be bound by a commitment to accountability that joins us to one another as a community.

We must be principled in the ways we innovate, create, and measure DEI progress both quantitatively and qualitatively and equity-minded in our resolve to eliminate barriers and strengthen opportunities for promotion and/or tenure for faculty, career progression for staff, and degree completion for undergraduate, graduate and professional scholars, ensuring student success.
