PAE-6: Diversity and Equity Coordination

The Council on Inclusive Excellence, which the Provost chairs, has as its overarching goal creating and sustaining an inclusive community striving for excellence. The Council's activities during its first three years centered around: (1) developing the theme of "identity" to guide its efforts during the three-year period, (2) developing programs for engaged dialogue in a broad array of campus settings, and (3) developing mechanisms for weaving inclusive excellence into the fabric of the University at all levels.

The Office of Affirmative Action is responsible for ensuring Santa Clara University's policies, as well as federal, state, and local laws pertaining to affirmative action and equal employment opportunity. To fulfill this mission, the Director also serves as the 504/ADA Compliance Officer and Title IX Coordinator. The Office provides assistance to faculty, staff, and students regarding concerns relative to affirmative action, to seeking information or counsel, or to file a complaint regarding discrimination or harassment. In addition to the Office of Affirmative Action, the University has an Office for Multicultural Learning. The mission of the Office for Multicultural Learning is to coordinate, collaborate and promote cross-campus educational co-curricular programs that further integrate multicultural learning into the university's core curriculum, overall undergraduate curriculum and student life. The Office for Multicultural Learning works in conjunction with the University Council on Inclusive Excellence to enhance Santa Clara's goals for diversity and inclusive excellence.

One of the primary objectives of the affirmative action officer is to communicate that Santa Clara is an employer of choice for women and members of underrepresented groups. Committed to creating a pipeline and developing an inclusive brand, the Director of Affirmative Action works closely with Human Resources and others to promote meaningful interaction across cultural lines and provide opportunities for community partnerships. Responsibilities include: Policy 311, Equal Employment Opportunity, ADA Compliance, Diversity, Affirmative Action Programs, and certain Title IX compliance.
