A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
The Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (OIDEI) serves as a hub for education, support services, advocacy and accountability related to diversity, equity and inclusion at Middlebury.
We provide programming and resources that celebrate and affirm diverse identities and lived experiences. We offer development opportunities designed to help members of the campus community better understand and address barriers related to access, opportunity and full participation. We coordinate reporting processes and ensure there is a fair and equitable response to campus climate concerns and violations of related campus policies. We identify institutional goals, advocate for change, and provide both transparency and accountability about our progress in working toward those goals.
The Student Government Association also has a Diversity Committee that works with the Office of the Dean of the College and Chief Diversity Officer.
We also created an Anti-Racism Task Force and Advisory Group on Disability, Access, and Inclusion.
