About the Center
The Center for Equality and Justice (CEJ) will enable CLU to broaden its reach into the community, support organizations with similar goals, and help students find meaningful service learning opportunities. By addressing some of the key issues of our times — social inequality, economic justice and diverse cultural identities — the CEJ will offer practical assistance to community-based organizations working with underrepresented groups as it furthers CLU's mission and contributes to contemporary thinking about equality and justice.
The CEJ aims to be an agent of productive change in the region, applying an integrative approach to societal challenges. It will stimulate community-based research that can aid community collaborations in taking action to remedy disparities and further the goals of social justice. The Center for Equality and Justice will continue to seek more effective ways to share ideas and knowledge, becoming a nexus for Ventura County's academic and activist communities.
