DEI TASK FORCE JUNE 2021 UPDATE

[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_wp_text]The Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ DEI Task Force delivered its report to the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees at the May 15-16 meetings. The primary work of the Task Force between September 2020 and May 2021 was to focus on recommendations for improving Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly as pertain to North American scholars who are Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color (BIPOC), identify ways these objectives could be integrated across the organization, and establish a permanent body that could oversee this and other DEI work.

After much research and consultation over the last academic year, the Task Force made several recommendations for consideration by Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ leadership and the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ standing committees, including (though not limited to):[/vc_wp_text][vc_column_text]

  1. Implement structural changes with governance and increase recognition for diversity work across Âé¶¹Ö±²¥
  2. Support graduate students and a mentoring program
  3. Increase membership, Annual Meeting, and research scholarships
  4. Create diversity programming including implicit bias and cultural competency professional development
  5. Continue and strengthen partnerships with BIPOC serving institutions and organizations
  6. Continue to make the Annual Meeting more welcoming and accessible
[/vc_column_text][vc_wp_text]Based on the Task Force recommendations, the Board voted to extend the life of the Task Force through November 2021. Furthermore, the Board charged President Sharon Hebert, in consultation with the Task Force and Vice President Charles Jones, to develop a charge for a new standing Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ DEI committee to be functioning no later than January 2022. This new committee will be a part of the CCC and work alongside other Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ committees, the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Office, and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ governance to implement the Task Force recommendations.

Throughout the next several months the Task Force will help create the permanent, DEI Standing Committee, will collaborate with Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ leadership and standing committees as they finalize their DEI objectives and the new Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ strategic plan, and will communicate with Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ membership about Task Force recommendations and next steps on how to get involved.

The Task Force would like to thank all of the interviewees and organizations who contributed to these findings and the Early Career Scholars, the Initiative for the Status of Women, Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ leadership, the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Office, and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ members who initiated this work and provided feedback over the last year.[/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684098866{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_wp_posts title=”BROWSE THE NEWS ARCHIVE” number=”4″][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684008271{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
