What is the standing committee currently working on?
The Biden School Standing Committee on Diversity and Inclusion is partnering with the University of Delaware Office of Institutional Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to identify University-level improvements on which we can engage.
The DEI standing committee is also working with the Biden School's Chief Diversity Advocate , Kim Isett, on its projects. The group is working to identify immediate, mid-term, and long-term objectives with measurable activities on DEI within the Biden School and is developing a strategic plan.
What is the standing committee's process?
- Starting Fall 2021, the committee will hold two open meetings a year.
- A meeting, open to the Biden School community, will be held during the fall semester to both inform the community and seek input on the committee's agenda.
- A meeting, open to the Biden School community at the end of the spring semester, before the committee adjourns for summer, will be held to provide an update on the work accomplished year-to-date.
- Starting now, the committee will provide opportunities for feedback on agenda items via community input/feedback forms that will be made available through the DEI webpage and the newsletter.
- Starting now, the committee will provide opportunities for two-way communication with stakeholders as and when the need arises.
As our work in this area evolves, grows, and progresses, we will provide updates here.
