In the Spring of 2021, each academic unit on campus reflected on its practices across seven domains to identify ways that they could improve in service to students and colleagues. Through the RJE, University leadership will be able to identify areas for strategic planning, resources for ongoing continuous improvement, and continue to foster open and productive dialogue about racial justice.

THE RACIAL JUSTICE EXAMEN (RJE) seeks to support academic units in their work towards becoming an anti-racist institution through reflection, understanding, empathy, and action.

Initiated in September 2020, the RJE started with a University-wide collaboration between students, staff, and faculty to understand areas of racial injustice, diversity, and equity across academic units. Through this work, seven domains of reflection were created to serve as the framework for the RJE.
