Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee

The EDI Committee advises the Association on principles and best practices in continuing to build a more diverse faculty, academic and institutional community; in supporting and representing diverse groups more effectively; and in identifying gaps in policy, support and services appropriate to its mandate.
