Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
Yes
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
UMBC’s first Diversity Plan was written in 2009, in response to a state mandate. The original
plan articulated four overarching diversity goals for UMBC. Over the intervening years, UMBC’s
wealth of diversity initiatives has deepened and grown, while the four overarching institutional
goals have remained constant. The 2019 Diversity Plan for UMBC retains the four overarching
UMBC diversity goals and integrates them with the two guiding diversity goals from USM, as
required in the Diversity Report UMBC is mandated to submit annually.
In development of the 2019 plan, UMBC has integrated the broad diversity scaffolding with the
specific, diversity-related goals from UMBC’s recent strategic plan to form part one as the core
of the plan. It is anticipated that part one of the 2019 Diversity Plan will warrant review for
possible updating in 2024. Part two of the 2019 Diversity Plan is the annual update portion.
This portion of the plan integrates the specific, diversity-related strategies (identified for 2018-
2020 and continuing from 2016-17 and 2017-18) from UMBC’s 2018 strategic planning
implementation document. It is anticipated that part two of the Diversity Plan will be updated
annually--as needed and based on continued implementation of UMBC’s strategic plan--at the
time UMBC develops its annual Diversity Report.
