Diversity, equity, and inclusion must be part of the agenda of all leaders of the University of Oregon. From the president to department chairs, from the ASUO president to the president of the University Senate, all leaders need to promote the university’s values in both plans and action. The Division of Equity and Inclusion will play the central role on campus in promoting equity and inclusion; in supporting the efforts of leaders to achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion; and in tracking progress toward meeting those objectives.
