Does the sustainability office have initiatives specifically designed to recruit sustainability employees from underrepresented groups?:
A brief description of the initiatives specifically designed to recruit sustainability employees from underrepresented groups:
Does the sustainability office ensure that sustainability employees complete DEI training?:
A brief description of the DEI trainings for sustainability employees:
Each student who attends Central Michigan University is required to complete Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training. New first-year and transfer students are required to complete a training called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Students. A similar training is required for faculty and staff of the university. Previously this was administered through Everfi, however, it is now administered through Vector Solutions. Because each employee in Central Michigan University's office of sustainability is a student, each employee is automatically required to complete DEI training. A link with more information is included in the notes.
