The Anti-Racism Committee advises the Steering Committee on the overall campus climate regarding issues and events of racism across all intersections of identity and bias. Additionally, they recommend and evaluate measures to ensure that every student, faculty, and staff enjoys an environment free of racism and hate.
The overarching responsibility of the committee is to provide campus leaders with information regarding issues on campus that are rooted in racism. This is assisted by having representation on the committee from students, faculty, staff, and organizations across campus including Health Sciences, Human Resources, Athletics, EDI, ASUU, University Neighborhood Partners.
