Group 2 – Representation: Recruitment and Outreach to Black Students

Each of the six Dismantling Systemic Racism Work Groups are addressing systemic anti-Black racism on the UCI campus. The effort is a grassroots effort to cultivate solutions from faculty, staff, students and the community.

The Representation: Recruitment and Outreach to Black Students Work Group will begin by addressing the questions below.

• Why are Black students underrepresented at UCI?
• What policies and practices inhibits the representation of Black students at UCI?
• How can we partner with programs or initiatives to increase the number of Black students at UCI?
• Why do Black faculty and students choose to pursue an education or career at UCI?
• How can we increase the pipeline of Black PhD students and attract them to come to UCI?
