Group 4 – Evaluating Faculty Contributions to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Academic Review

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 Evaluating Faculty Contributions to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Academic Review Work Group will begin by addressing the questions below.

  • How do we evaluate and reward contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion in the academic review?
  • What guidance from departments, schools and administration is necessary in these efforts and how do we communicate it?
  • What kind of broader education and culture change efforts would support faculty to more widely engage in contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion?
  • How can we learn from future faculty to help them be set up to integrate contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion as part of their life as academics?
  • To what extent is cultural competency, as demonstrated through research, teaching, and service, integral to evaluative assessments of faculty member qualifications and performance?
