ARHU’s Campaign on Race, Equity and Justice

This fall began ARHU's Campaign on Race, Equity and Justice, with the following goals in mind:

 

  1. Increase knowledge among students and faculty of systemic racism and the issues related to anti-racist practice

  2. Transform curriculum and scholarship to center the experiences of historically underrepresented communities

  3. Increase engagement and motivation of students, staff and faculty to plan, speak and act for equity, justice and elimination of systemic racism.  

  4. Reduce incidents of individual and systemic racism and discrimination found in teaching, research and service in the college

  5. Expand the impact of ARHU’s work on racism, equity and justice through community and other partnerships. 

  6. Increase awareness across campus of ARHU’s expertise around issues of systemic racism, equity, and inequality.

 

These goals have motivated strategies and tactics in several areas. Some are linked below.
