The College of Education and Human Development is committed to the promotion of antiracism. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a shared vision for our efforts in preparing teachers, administrators, school counselors and other professionals. The CEHD has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind (racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, ageism, ableism, xenophobia, etc.). Students will be encouraged to investigate and gain a current perspective of diversity issues (race, ethnicity, language, religion, culture, SES, gender, sexual identity, disability, ability, age, national origin, geographic location, military status, etc.) related to their chosen fields. Students will examine critically how issues of equity, inclusion, and belonging apply to and affect theory, sociological issues, and current events (discrepant outcomes in education, hiring practices, and daily operations) in a variety of areas. Students will be encouraged to identify and challenge their belief systems that are often rooted in larger systems that perpetuate injustices, and be encouraged to reexamine and develop more critical perspectives and practices regarding equity and inclusion. By grounding their practices in these critical perspectives, students will learn to be empowered and informed leaders in their fields whose actions reflect this commitment to equity and inclusion.
