Overview
In 2009, UC Berkeley adopted a campus-wide Strategic Plan for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity that called for all campus divisions to deepen their understanding of how the principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity can transform their work. The strategic plan also called for a process for each division to put these principles into operation within their workspaces and programs.
Recommendations
Toward this aim, the Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education (VCUE) established an Equity and Inclusion Strategic Plan Working Group in the winter of 2013. The group produced the report “Full Participation: Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity in the Division of Undergraduate Education” that conveys recommendations for how the Division of Undergraduate Education (UE) can more thoroughly integrate the values of equity, inclusion, and diversity into its community, programs, and work processes.
Implementation
An Equity, Inclusion and Diversity (EID) Implementation Team has been charged to move forward the report’s recommendations. The EID Team consists of staff from across UE, and focuses on the following areas:
-
Organizational Structures & Practices
-
Campus Relations & Communications
-
Community Building & Belonging
-
Education and Professional Development
We invite you to learn more and to get involved with EID efforts in UE. For questions or more information, contact vcue-eid@berkeley.edu
