Advisory Committee
The Anti-Racism Initiative Advisory Committee, formerly the Anti-Racism Initiative Working Group, is charged with holding the University accountable to moving along the continuum toward becoming a fully- inclusive Anti-Racist institution. The group engages stakeholders in this process by inviting feedback and making their work transparent. The Chair is responsible for updating the Committee on a regular basis on the status of the strategy teams’ work and progress.
