The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Committee collaborates with A&S administration, departments, programs, faculty, staff, and students to ensure that the A&S DEIJ Strategic Plan and recommendations from university wide DEIJ and anti-racism initiatives are implemented. To ensure transparency in the School’s ongoing DEIJ efforts, the committee shall have the responsibility of assessing and communicating progress annually in a written report and presentation to the A&S community. The report will evaluate school-level DEIJ progress (A&S Dean’s Office and department level). The report also will analyze school-level data on compositional diversity and compositional goals; and make DEIJ recommendations as required. All members have voting privileges.
