SUBJECT:

Collection of Campus Diversity Initiative Information

Vice Chancellor for Equity Diversity and Inclusion Linda Greene has been charged with leading the development of a diversity strategic plan for UC San Diego. This work will be integrated into the overall campus strategic planning effort and will provide an important foundational element in furthering our academic mission. Additionally, the plan will include metrics to ensure that we are employing best practices that both research and experience show have a real impact.

Over the last three months Vice Chancellor Greene has met with many individuals and conducted numerous listening sessions and town halls across the campus in an effort to become familiar with issues of diversity, equity and inclusion at UC San Diego. In order to effectively assess our numerous efforts and the efficacy of our current structures, she will be working to assemble a comprehensive listing of our current diversity efforts, including budgetary and staffing information. These data will be stored in a database for ease of retrieval and updates.

To ensure that all relevant information about our existing efforts in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion are evaluated as part of the strategic planning process, please provide the information requested to Vice Chancellor Greene and her staff by Wednesday, May 17. You may enter your program’s information at:
