Description
Over 18 months, Tufts University undertook a university-wide self-assessment regarding diversity and inclusion. This review culminated in a report with 13 major recommendations, which were approved by the university Trustees in November 2013. In this session, we will share the structure and process of this self-assessment, including stakeholder engagement, the strengths and challenges of the approach, and the work ahead as we begin implementation and recruit a Chief Diversity Officer. We invite participants’ input on some of our anticipated implementation challenges and will encourage participants to share their own experiences with institutional self- assessment, and promising practices for implementation strategies.
