Criteria
Part 1

The committee, office and/or officer focuses on student and/or employee diversity and equity.

Institution makes cultural competence trainings and activities available to all members of one or more of the following groups:
- Students
- Staff
- Faculty
- Administrators
Applicability
This credit applies to all institutions.
Scoring
Each part is scored independently.
Part 1
Institutions earn 1 point for having a committee, office or officer that meets the criteria outlined above and focuses on both student and employee diversity and equity. Partial points are 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
Institutions earn the maximum of 1 point available for Part 2 for making cultural competence trainings available to all members of the campus community. Partial points are available based on the number of groups for whom the institution makes trainings available. For example, an institution that makes cultural competence trainings available to all members of 2 of the groups listed would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available for Part 2).
Measurement
Timeframe
