Applicability

Scoring
Each part is scored independently.
Part 1
An institution earns 1 point in Part 1 of this credit for having a committee, office, or officer that meets the criteria outlined above and focuses on both students and employees diversity. Partial points are not available if the committee, office and/or officer focuses on students or employees, but not both. For example, an institution with a diversity and equity office that focuses solely on student diversity would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available for Part 1 of this credit).
Part 2
An institution earns the maximum of 1 point available for Part 2 when all members of the campus community have participated in cultural competence, anti-oppression, anti-racism and./or social inclusion trainings and activities. Partial points are available based on the extent to which students, academic staff, and non-academic staff participate in such trainings, as follows:
