As social scientists, our goal is to understand the world, and doing so requires that we incorporate scholars with diverse lived experiences. We will recruit and retain faculty and students from diverse backgrounds, support them in their growth, and include them in decision-making. We will incorporate diverse perspectives in our teaching and research.
