equity, Diversity & inclusion council
The EDI Council is comprised of a diverse group of faculty, staff, and students across campus. We provide advice and consultation to the Chancellor’s cabinet from an equity perspective on policies, programs, and initiatives. We serve as an avenue for members of the university community to elevate equity and inclusion concerns in efforts to improve equity and inclusion. Feel free to contact EDI Council members from the list below for additional information.
