A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
We have the Institutional Coordinating Council, which is part of a shared leadership structure for campus DEI efforts; the Senior Administrative Officer for Equity & Community, which serves on the President’s Cabinet (Amy Howard), and the Office of Institutional Equity & Community. We also have the Student Center for Equity and Inclusion that provides programs and supports for the various intersectional identities of underrepresented students on campus.
The ICC is dedicated to aligning and coordinating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts across campus, providing thought partnership to units and senior leadership, and advancing anti-racism at the University of Richmond. The ICC shapes and sharpens the institution's focus on the systemic change needed for achieving our long-term vision: an engaged and self-reflective institution in which members of all groups that have been historically restrained, excluded, or oppressed are fully included, belong, and thrive. The SAO for Equity and Community serves on the President’s Cabinet and works with other senior leaders to advance the institution’s diversity and equity goals of representation, belonging, and capability. The Office of Equity and Inclusion provides support, resources and consultation for staff, faculty, and students (at the unit or individual level) in support of university DEI goals.
