A Campus Action Plan for Improving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is under development with the below goals outlined:

Campus Action Plan Objectives

Create a welcoming and inclusive campus environment for all
Create a community of shared values
Recruit, retain and graduate a diverse student body
Recruit, retain and promote a diverse workforce
Actively engage the rich background and diverse talents of university faculty, staff and students to propel CSUN forward and achieve inclusive excellence
Campus Action Plan for Improving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Black Students, Faculty and Staff

Implement effective recruitment, retention and graduation plans for Black students. Collaborate to actively engage in reducing equity gaps that persist at higher rates for Black students by meeting with representatives to review and assess interventions regularly and at least twice per semester.
Provide funding and an action plan to recruit, retain and promote Black faculty, staff and administrators.
Provide funding, resources and an action plan to create an Institute/Center for Research and Resources on Equity and Black Culture. The Institute/Center will be specifically designed to address resources for Black students and elevate and promote the publication and dissemination of research on Black culture and the Black experience.
Support efforts by the Career Center to expand their focus on increasing the engagement of Black students’ career readiness and successful entry into the workforce.
Develop an oral history project and visual/digital arts installation(s) showcasing the histories and contributions of local Black communities.
Launch Human Resources partnerships with Black organizations on campus to ensure that faculty, staff and administrators are provided with anti-racist and social justice training and mentorship in our professional development series. We will seek to incorporate these topics as a part of mandated training.
Faculty Development will facilitate semester-long faculty learning communities, including culturally relevant pedagogy, helping faculty review their curriculum and infuse ally-ship and anti-racism into the classroom. Faculty Affairs will begin a systematic campus-wide policy, procedure and process review to identify and work to eliminate racial disparities in outcomes for recruitment, retention and promotion of Black faculty, staff and administrators.
Create an annual conference on Black Lives and Black Voices in conjunction with Black Faculty and Staff Association, Black Student Success Council, Black Alumni Association and other campus groups for Fall 2021. Develop and establish a speaker series/public forum, with breakout sessions/work groups, to engage the entire community around issues related to social justice, equity, police reform and other related topics.
Develop and implement a fundraising campaign that will be facilitated by University Relations and Advancement, with measurable benchmarks (for the creation of the Institute, student scholarships, staff and faculty development, grant writers and related needs).
Secure additional funding to enhance mental health support, including, for example, counselors, therapists, advocates and social workers who can assist in helping students navigate systems, while focusing on enhancing their own mental health, well-being and meeting their basic needs.
