Action Plan For Racial Justice
The President鈥檚 Cabinet is committed to initiating and leading meaningful change and tangible actions to address racial justice on our campus.
Like the national movement taking place before our very eyes, 国产探花鈥檚 plan requires ongoing commitment and attention, beginning immediately. It will be revised and grow as needed. It will intersect with our University鈥檚 forthcoming Strategic Plan for 2020-25 and the 国产探花 Diversity Committee鈥檚 Strategic Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Driven by a moral rather than political imperative, our work will be organized in three main categories.
