The aim of the Antiracism Implementation Plan at Colorado College<\/a> is to strive for an environment that does not foster negative experiences or outcomes based on race.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

With antiracism central to our mission, our faculty, staff, and students will experience greater equity and inclusion, our teaching will become more impactful, and our students will be better prepared to make positive change in the world.

Every CC student, faculty, and staff member is responsible for carrying the work of CC\u2019s Antiracism Implementation Plan forward. For some faculty, that work has included professional development. Over the Spring Semester, faculty participated in workshops through the Professional Development Series on Antiracism, offered by the Crown Faculty Center\u2019s Mandala Center for Change. Guided by faculty and staff facilitators, the workshops are aimed at weaving equity, justice, and inclusion into life at CC.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery facet of CC should examine antiracism in practice,\u201d says Drew Cavin, director of field study. Cavin and Sarah Schanz, assistant professor of geology, co-led a workshop \u2014 \u201cAntiracism in Field Study\u201d \u2014 that asked faculty to consider how to navigate challenges related to inclusion and identity during field trips and study abroad.

\u201cThe outcomes of these workshops are less about specific tools and strategies, and more about creating an orientation toward antiracism work as an ongoing process,\u201d says Cayce Hughes, assistant professor of sociology, who co-facilitated a workshop: \u201cCreating Safer Classrooms for LGBTQ+ Students\u201d with Christina Leza, associate professor of anthropology. \u201cIt’s about realizing that to do better, you have to continually do that self-reflective, critical work on yourself, and in community with other people.\u201d Learn more about these workshops and how these kinds of opportunities help engage all faculty and staff in antiracism work<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cProgress requires constant monitoring. This tool will aide us in establishing antiracism priorities on a continual basis,\u201d says Manya Whitaker, acting executive vice president and chief of staff. This<\/span> diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice<\/a> indexing tool is from EAB, a consulting firm specializing in education institutions, and Colorado College is in the very first cohort of institutions piloting it. \u201cOnce out of pilot testing, this tool may be useful in helping the college track its progress toward antiracism goals. When data is disaggregated by division\/unit, it will provide an understanding of the extent to which college leaders share perceptions of progress toward goals and of the importance of particular goals to becoming an antiracist institution.\u201d <\/span>Learn more about how this change supports<\/a> Goals 1 and 2 of CC\u2019s Antiracism Implementation Plan.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Instead of DEI, CC now uses ADEI, which stands for antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. This shift keeps antiracism present and prominent in describing work in these areas. Rosalie Rodriguez and Peony Fhagen currently represent CC\u2019s ADEI leadership team and focus on these four concepts in their work. Within CC\u2019s Antiracism Implementation Plan, the institution\u2019s goals include establishing antiracism, equity, and inclusion as foundational to our community expectations and making diversity, equity, and inclusion central to college leadership. To more accurately capture these key components, ADEI will replace DEI in many references.

The CC Antiracism Implementation Plan states that one way the college will build its capacity for inclusive excellence is by el<\/span>evating the leadership of this work to a <\/span>diverse three-person team<\/a>, <\/em>made up of members with expertise in equity, diversity, and inclusion. A newly created assistant vice president for staff equity and inclusion position will be the third member of this team, and will join Peony Fhagen, senior associate dean of equity, inclusion, and faculty development, and Rosalie Rodriguez, senior associate dean of students for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and director of the Butler Center. The person in this new role will provide strategic vision, thoughtful and collaborative leadership, and guidance as a member of the college\u2019s three-person antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion leadership team. The search is now underway, in partnership with Spelman and Johnson search firm, which anticipates introductory interviews by May 20. <\/span>Read the full posting<\/a> and <\/span>find out who\u2019s on the search committee<\/a>.
