improving the climate in the College of Education, as it pertains to Equity and Inclusion. Their work is ongoing and stepwise but in the interest of sharing some of the committee’s progress with you, we are using this email to let you know about a few updates
and will also share a few additional updates this Friday March 12<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif">The COEDEI committee has identified an initial Equity and Inclusion portfolio of activities for 2021 that is intentionally measured
in its pace and scope (see attached summary). The committee believes that making gains in these initially identified areas will facilitate the future changes necessary for the ongoing systemic work necessary to foster and continuously improve the climate of
equity and inclusion in the college. The committee has begun evaluating this portfolio of 2021 activities and will be submitting recommendations to the college dean and/the college for action. Where possible, the committee will engage in supporting these
efforts as stated in our charge and described in our statement of principles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif">The committee aims to use these principles when advancing recommendations in the college’s annual equity and inclusion portfolio. The intent is to provide recommendations
to the college that can be enacted short-, mid-, or long-term to drive change in these areas. Some of the recommendations will be quick and small but we believe impactful, others will be extended and systemic and will require effort from all of us. We are
encouraged though that all of the recommendations will drive discourse, which is the first item listed in the committee’s statement of principles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif">Recommendations that go to the dean may warrant further discourse or may generate immediate activity. In all cases, we urge our colleagues to continue to engage
in the various ways you have been engaging. We will provide ongoing updates such as this one, and hope to gain more visibility in the coming weeks with the completion of a website that provides insight into the activities we are engaged in and describes critical
points of intersection with the COE community. We anticipate many.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif">In addition to the website, and in the interest of driving discourse in the college, one of the early recommendations is that the college faculty and staff
first be provided the opportunity to turn to local and college experts when considering facilitated discourse in the college.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Malgun Gothic Semilight",sans-serif">To that end, in addition to the book clubs, self-development, and resource-sharing that we know is ongoing in the college, we propose additional and systematic
opportunities for discourse in the college according to an individual’s level of readiness.

for ongoing and collaborative engagement in this work according to each individual’s readiness. The committee is engaging in conversations with HR and university offices to determine the best way to establish institutional equity around supporting this work
in individual colleges and between colleges across campus. We will keep you informed as that information develops, however, we thought it would be important to proceed with this query in tandem with those conversations. We are committed to establishing ways
to support this work inside the college.<i> </i>The survey is open now and will remain open through Friday April 9<sup>th</sup> to determine initial interest.
