The initiative focuses on implementing Goal 5 of the 2019 Plan for Equity and Inclusion, which emphasizes accountability through assessment, reporting, action, and celebration. Key objectives include inventorying existing equity and inclusion practices, establishing and sharing broad metrics for monitoring campus climate and student outcomes, connecting assessment to continuous improvement strategies, and informing decisions to sustain appropriate practices and innovations. The overarching goal is to foster an inclusive community where all individuals can thrive and achieve meaningful belonging.
