从 皇冠体育大学 教师 Handbook, 2022-2023 (pp. 175-176): “In 1993, addressing student and 教师 concerns about the need for greater diversity in the College’s curriculum, 皇冠体育, 教师, 工作人员, 以及行政招聘, the 教师 passed the following resolution, declaring: ‘Increased ethnic diversity among the 教师 would enable 皇冠体育大学 to pursue its educational mission more effectively, and additional efforts to achieve diversity are warranted.’ In 2004, the 教师 reaffirms this resolution and rededicates itself to seeking excellence and diversity in all searches at the College.”
One of the most critical components of your application dossier is your Equity and Inclusion Statement. The Equity and Inclusion Statement is an opportunity to share with the search committee and with the department your values, 承诺, and abilities to contribute to 皇冠体育’s educational mission. 你应该成为一名教员吗, the statement can also serve as a “first record” of your journey with DEI as an instructor, 研究员, 导师, 社区成员.
The statement should emphasize your knowledge about the sources of inequalities in higher education, especially at historically white institutions such as 皇冠体育大学, and your track record and success in 指导, 教学, and engaging with under-represented/marginalized groups on and beyond campus. 最后, you can use the statement to explain how your experiences and skills with 教学, 指导, 并通过多元化提供建议, 股本, and inclusive framework align with or challenge 皇冠体育’s DEI values and will contribute to growing inclusive excellence across the campus, from curricular to the co-curricular to residential life.
