Our school’s vision statement to "Transform – our world, our future, ourselves" cannot be accomplished without centering anti-racism as an essential and non-negotiable commitment for our school. We will build on our history of tackling issues of racism through teaching, research, service, and the Center on Race and Social Problems by setting Guiding Principles which commit us to a set of activities that will move us towards our goal of being an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive and welcoming school:
Guiding Principles
- Anti-racism is central to all we do: We will advance anti-racism in all business, education, and research operations, policies, and practice.
- Anti-racism starts with us: We must confront the systemically racist foundations of our nation and our profession and commit to actively dismantling these legacies through our daily interactions, professional practices, policies, advocacy, and measurable impact.
- Anti-racism is a continual work in progress: We commit to an ongoing process of individual and collective education, discussion, and action.
- Anti-racism is intersectional: We will center racism in our attention to all forms of oppression.
- Anti-racism demands accountability: We will develop rigorous tools to evaluate and assess our progress.
