Creating Inclusive Excellence Office for Equity and Inclusion (OEI) Presentation to Academic Affairs Subcommittee
Projected demographics, emerging economic imperatives, and increasingly turbulent political and legal challenges have converged to an extent that inclusion and diversity will be among the most critical issues facing higher education in the twenty-first century (Duderstadt 2000; Hurtado and Dey 1997; Tierney 1999).
A.P.L.U. Commission on Access, Diversity & Excellence (CADE) The A٠P٠L٠U Commission on Access, Diversity and Excellence (CADE) shall serve as a national action forum for addressing relevant diversity and social change issues impacting learning, discovery, and engagement at American colleges and universities. • Broadening access and opportunity in the academic community. • Utilizing diversity to expand the range and quality of the undergraduate experience. • Achieving excellence and enhancing diversity within student and faculty populations. • Creating partnerships between public universities and their communities to bring about beneficial social change.
National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE) Vision Statement To lead higher education toward inclusive excellence through institutional transformation
Association of American Colleges and University’s (AAC&U) Definition Inclusive Excellence (IE) means that “diversity is a key component of a comprehensive strategy for achieving institutional excellence – which includes, but is not limited to, the academic excellence of all students in attendance and concerted efforts to educate all students to succeed in a diverse society and equip them with sophisticated intercultural skills.”
Inclusive Excellence (IE) re-envisions both quality and diversity – excellence is tied to diversity • Goes beyond numbers of students or number of programs as end goals. • Eliminates “islands of innovation” and attempts to create a collaborative, cohesive strategy to bring efforts together to address institutional goals
UNM Definition of IE Inclusive Excellence requires a healthy and inclusive campus climate and refers to the processes by which we leverage diversity as our strength to enhance our understanding and connections with diverse communities, ensure the success of all of our students and advance the academic enterprise.
