A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
From our most recent assessment the following have helped shaped policy, programs and initiatives:
The first assessment findings were related to staffing and resources for the Office of Inclusive Excellence. This has ensured the following:
1. Revision of the Chief Diversity Officer position description to increase institutional leadership; focus on relationship building and collaboration; create measurable outcomes and establish compliance plan; and, emphasize advocacy across campus constituents.
2. Elevate the classification of the position to include the CDO at the executive leadership table as a full participatory contributor and partner.
3. Increased staffing for the Office of Inclusive Excellence.
4. Revamped the Inclusive Excellence Council to create a robust advisory board that draws members across campus units and will provide additional leadership infrastructure.
In addition, another recommendation was to develop both Staff and Faculty Centers. These centers will be focused on providing resources and support to our faculty and staff using new and innovative collaborative engagement strategies
FACES: Faculty Advocates for Care and Engagement (FACES) Initiative has goals for the following:
1. Confidential space, support, and services that include:
2. Crisis resource coordination
3. Workshops centered on Incivility, Morale and Faculty-to-Faculty Bullying
