College of Arts and Sciences JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Council Recognized for Institutional Work.
The Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Council of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is a group of faculty and staff members with experience and expertise in academic/creative and institutional social justice work. Born out of the Implementation Task Force of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Diversity and Inclusion, the Council serves as an advisory board to the College. The Council also advises the Dean on the implementation of the College of Arts and Sciences DEI Strategic Plan. The Council makes policy proposals and provides consultation to the Dean on faculty affairs, curriculum, and other College business to advance the CAS’s commitment to promoting a just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive academic environment and campus community. Recent projects include advocating for faculty cluster hires, faculty housing, and diversity courses in the Core Curriculum, incorporating DEI work in faculty evaluation, and building DEI leadership capacity among the staff and faculty.
