Mission
The mission of the School of Education Access and Equity Committee (AEC) is to enhance the School of Education’s ability to be a welcoming, supportive and pluralistic environment in which all students, staff and faculty members thrive. AEC specifically strives to do the following:
- foster an inclusive climate that affirms the diversity of students, staff and faculty members by offering equal educational access and opportunity to all School of Education (SOE) community members
- educate the SOE community about critical issues pertaining to access, equity and diversity, and encourage the use of inclusive practices
- advocate for diversity in the life of the School of Education community through educational programming, faculty and student recruitment and retention, and research development
- recognize outstanding work related to access, equity and diversity in research, teaching and/or service to the School of Education and/or the larger community
The Committee embraces a broad concept of diversity to include those from all racial, cultural, linguistic, religious, international, and socioeconomic backgrounds, family structures, sexual/affectional orientations, and those from the deaf culture and others with exceptional needs. The AEC membership consists of representatives from each of the six departments in the School of Education along with staff and student representatives. The AEC itself strives for broad diversity in its membership.
