WHAT IS DEI?
DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity can be defined as the ways individuals differ from another, while equity and inclusion are the actions we take in regard to those individuals. Equity is the equal treatment and access provided, while Inclusion is the action we take to incorporate individuals in all aspects of the community. Individuals in one or more of the following groups benefit from DEI initiatives: LGBTQIA+, minority race and/or ethnicity, veterans, first-generation and non-traditional students, individuals affected by disability and neurodiversity, formerly incarcerated or impacted by incarceration, former foster youth, and individuals affected by financial barriers, among others.
