DEIJ Core Team Charter
Lead & catalyze DEIJ work by:
- Engaging with Cal Lutheran constituents and various university communities and affinity groups around DEIJ
- Formally recognizing and celebrating the work that has been done and the work in progress related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Identifying current and ongoing needs and gaps; recommend to the President’s Cabinet constructive and viable ways to address both.
- Using information and data from #1-3 above to recommend a clear and strategic DEIJ
direction.
- As part of helping to set that direction, review and prioritize organizational policies and practices which demonstrate that we value equity, inclusion, and diversity.
- Develop a DEIJ strategic direction for Cabinet’s review and approval.
- Model productive ways to identify, challenge, and dismantle racial biases that exist at both an individual and institutional level.
