The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiative

The DEI Initiative was established in summer 2019 and focuses on three areas of strategic importance:

  • community diversity
  • curriculum and classroom inclusion; and
  • culture and climate.

The principles of the DEI Initiative are encapsulated in the Values Statement.
