Final Antiracism Book Club Book of the Academic Year!

Signup for the 3rd book in the antiracist book club series! Excellent read! 
All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to join us in reading the third selection for the Antiracist Book Club, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad. Called “powerful and provocative” by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist, this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color.
Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep “ownership” of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women’s active participation in campaigns of oppression, offering a long overdue validation of the experiences of femme-identifying women of color.
Sign up for your copy today. Visit the ABC website for more information and to check out the reading guide.
Pick up your copy at the CC Bookstore today! For any additional information, please contact the ADEI Team at ADEI@Coloradocollege.edu.

New Compensation Philosophy

Dear Campus Community,

At CC we seek to “ignite the passion and potential of our students, and the entire CC community, to create a world that is more equitable, humane, and just.” That vision, along with our commitment to nurture and maintain a thriving community, led the college leadership and Project 2024 to revisit the college’s philosophy on compensation. 
Last year, Project 2024 identified specific areas for action from what we learned in year one, including providing a living wage for employees. College leadership responded by establishing and implementing a living wage standard for benefits-eligible employees last July.
This year, the Project 2024 Steering Committee sought to make a living wage commitment part of CC’s compensation philosophy and an action group worked to revise this philosophy for the CC community. We are pleased to announce that it has been approved and will go into effect immediately.
It states that, in order to fulfill our mission to provide a high-quality liberal arts education to a talented and diverse community of students, we must attract and retain equally diverse and talented employees.
It commits the college to seven principles, including:
  • We pay our benefits-eligible employees a living wage and work to get all others as close to a living wage as possible.
  • We provide compensation (pay plus benefits) that is internally and externally equitable.
  • We provide varied benefits to support our employees’ well-being and diverse needs.
  • We administer compensation in a fair and flexible manner. 
The revised compensation philosophy can be found on the Human Resources compensation website. The website will be updated with actions taken to implement our philosophy and will provide metrics to measure the college’s progress.
We would like to thank the members of the action group – Justine Square, Susan Ashley, Thecla Shubert, Chad Schonewill, Ofer Ben-Amots, and Ryan Simmons – for their hard work in bringing the new philosophy to fruition.
Stay tuned later this spring when the Project 2024 Steering Committee shares their Year Three report and the results of their deep dive into the challenges facing higher education and CC.
Sincerely,

Susan Ashley

Professor of History and Project 2024 Coordinator

Save the Date for “Understanding and Managing Our New Age of Danger”

Join us for the Marianne Lannon Lopat Lecture on April 1.

Please join us on Monday, April 1 from 4-5:30 pm in Gaylord Hall in the Worner Campus Center for the latest installment of the Marianne Lannon Lopat Memorial Lecture series, “Understanding and Managing Our New Age of Danger.” Thom Shanker ’78 will present his idea for a better national security apparatus, arguing for expanding the definition of national security to truly keep Americans safe in this new “age of danger.” He states that American taxpayers pay for a national security machine that costs $1 trillion a year, yet too often the U.S. government gets it wrong on critical issues.
Shanker argues that yes, traditional threats remain from sources such as superpowers China and Russia, rogue states like Iran and North Korea, and well-organized and well-armed terrorist organizations. But just as importantly, he believes we must also understand that we need to prepare for emerging threats like climate change, food insecurity, forced migration, pandemics, cybers attacks, and drones. 
For more information on the speaker and talk, please visit the event on the Campus Calendar.
