A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
UTSA's Office of Inclusive Excellence seeks to promote an inclusive community of learners, an awareness and appreciation of perspectives, and the establishment of programs, and resources designed to embrace and support Inclusive Excellence.
At UTSA, inclusiveness and excellence are two of the core values. The Office of Inclusive Excellence serves as an agent and resource to provide leadership on issues related to campus climate. Their goal is to support and promote inclusivity by developing initiatives that encourage respect in all aspects of campus life.
Inclusive Excellence shifts the responsibilities of bolstering diversity toward the whole institution, as opposed to one unit or area having the sole responsibility of understanding and implementing the diversity mission. Inclusive Excellence moves an institution, organization, or program from valuing diversity – with access and cultural competence as its primary goals – to ensuring through structural interventions that all groups are achieving the desired outcomes at equitable rates.
