The UCI End Racism Initiative is taking action by leading a series of campus discussions on how we can improve our diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence practices and creating task forces to formulate concrete proposals to fight institutional racism on our campus and promote the success of our Black students and faculty. The links below archive the content of these discussions and ensure transparency. To join the discussion and receive copies of the task force reports, please join our #BLM mailing list.
