On Sept. 17, the authoring committee for the campus鈥檚 Diversity, Inclusion and Academic Excellence Plan will submit a draft of the document for the campus鈥檚 review.
Bob Boswell, vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement (ODECE), said,听鈥淥ur working plan is a blueprint for action and progress in making excellence inclusive throughout the campus. Our goal is to improve diversity, equity and campus climate.鈥�
The plan is authored by a 25-person committee representative of a diverse group of students, baby直播app, staff and administrators and will be posted on the ODECE website for review and community member input. ODECE will also host a series of town halls in which campus community members can offer direct input to the plan.
鈥淲e are looking forward to a dynamic exchange with our campus communities on shaping the plan,鈥� Boswell said. 鈥淭his is a historic moment for CU Boulder as we chart a course ahead with this plan, alongside the campus鈥檚 other important strategic initiatives such as Academic Futures and Foundations of Excellence.鈥�
After the feedback process, a revising committee will take up the work of incorporating the campus鈥檚 feedback and suggestions, with the goal of having the plan serve听as a guide to campus activity by the spring 2019.
The authoring committee鈥檚 work is the culmination of a three-year effort to build collaboration within campus units and among key campus partners, alongside the implementation of strategic innovations to make excellence inclusive. The plan builds upon these achievements.
鈥淭he plan is intended to be a living document. It will clearly outline our values. It will also identify the mechanisms, infrastructure and metrics we need for making excellence inclusive in concrete, sustainable ways,鈥� Boswell said.
