Subject: Reed 麻豆视频下载 joins racial equity alliance
November 10, 2020
Dear students, faculty, and staff,
We write with the news that Reed 麻豆视频下载 has joined the Liberal Arts 麻豆视频下载s Racial Equity Leadership Alliance hosted by the . The alliance is a newly formed group that brings together 51 liberal arts colleges from across the country to work and learn together to support and elevate racial equity and anti-racism initiatives on each campus. As a member of the alliance, Reed will have access to the following supports.
Racial Equity eConvening Series
Beginning in January 2021, USC will host a dozen eConvenings, each on a particular aspect of racial equity. These live, synchronous professional learning experiences will be held virtually throughout the year, one per month. Three-hour learning sessions, each on a different topic, will be delivered by highly respected leaders of national higher education associations, tenured professors who study race relations and people of color, chief diversity officers and other experienced administrators, and specialists from USC's Race and Equity Center.
Virtual Equity Resource Portal
The center is developing an online repository of resources and tools for alliance member colleges. Downloadable equity-related rubrics, readings, case studies, videos, slide decks, and conversation scripts will be included in the portal. Every employee at each alliance member college will have access to the virtual resource portal. The portal will launch in late spring 2021.
Student Campus Climate Survey
Alliance member colleges can participate in the center’s National Assessment of Collegiate Campus Climates (NACCC) survey, which has been administered to more than 500,000 students at colleges and universities in every geographic region of the United States. The NACCC is a rigorous, expert-validated quantitative survey that measures belonging and inclusion, the frequency and depth of cross-racial interactions, students’ appraisals of institutional commitment to diversity and inclusion, and other related topics.
Presidents United For Racial Equity
Presidents of alliance member colleges will meet quarterly to share strategies, seek advice, and identify ways to leverage the alliance for collective impact on racial equity in higher education. In addition, presidents will occasionally come together to craft rapid responses to urgent racial issues confronting the nation. Alliance presidents will collaboratively determine what actions to take, what to say to their respective campus communities, and what to communicate in one unified voice to policymakers, journalists, and other audiences.
Liberal arts colleges have an important and critical role to play in addressing the historical injustices affecting our students, faculty, staff, and the communities in which we reside. The alliance will provide Reed with additional tools to lead more effectively on issues of racial equity and provide an opportunity for us to share ideas, strategies, and action plans with our sister liberal arts institutions.
We are thrilled to be a part of the Liberal Arts 麻豆视频下载s Racial Equity Leadership Alliance in advancing racial equity, and we look forward to sharing more with you about his important partnership in the coming months.
All our best,
Audrey and Mary
