]In Spring term of 2017, the UO launched the IDEALii framework, activating Diversity Action Plans (DAPs) in 35 units, with the audacious goal of implementing 657 tactics. Just 2.5 years later: • 58% of DAP tactics were met or in progress. • Our top DAP focus areas: improving departmental climate, student success, professional development and community outreach. • Our top three focal groups: undergraduate or graduate students, campus at large, and staff. Very few protected classes received targeted focus. • Promising practices emerged from our DAP work in the following areas: student internships, implicit bias, active recruitment, institutionalizing diversity committees and professional development. This work will be shared through the communities of practice framework, and as part of the UO implementation of HB2864. • IDEAL and the DAP work that it generated received the following state-wide, national and professional recognitions: (i) Oregon Department of Education used aspects of IDEAL to build its own internal diversity plan; (ii) the UO Department of Intercollegiate Athletics identified IDEAL as a major partner in BEOREGON, which received the National 2020 NCAA/MOAA Diversity and Inclusion Award; (iii) Communications received 2020 Best of CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) for PATOS: a multimedia approach to supporting the UO Latinx community; and (iv) the UO received its first Insight into Diversity Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) recognition for excellence in diversity and equity on their campus. Read more
