The faculty and staff Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Action Team is an educational and advocacy group that advises, provides critical feedback to, and collaborates with the Associate Provost for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion to
- Contribute to the effective implementation of the Diversity Plan
- Ensure that the Associate Provost for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (and therefore the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council) is well-informed about and responsive to faculty, staff, and student concerns related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
This team is comprised of critical, strategic thinkers, educators and "doers" interested in taking an active part in shifting the Bucknell campus culture. All members share a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
