Faculty Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Liaison (DEIL) Program

The Faculty Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Liaison (DEIL) Program utilizes existing faculty to serve as resources and provide a support network for their colleagues. We develop leaders from within the LUC community, selecting faculty who have demonstrated a knowledge of and commitment to DEI issues. These faculty liaisons will be educated about our DEI resources, create and deliver DEI programming, serve as diversity advocates on hiring committees, and act as a coach for a subset of faculty from under-represented groups.

New DEIL members will complete training in August. All DEIL members will participate in 2-3 additional information sessions throughout the year. They will deliver at least two learning modules per semester to their peers (e.g., at faculty meetings, for their college/school/institute) and create one new learning module per year based on their expertise. They will serve as a coach for 5 junior faculty from under-represented groups. They will also serve as a diversity advocate on 2 search committees per year. DEIL program members will receive a $5,000 annual stipend.
