The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Antiracism, Accessibility (IDEAA) Taskforce is a District advisory group engaging on a year-long exploration of the District’s commitment to IDEAA, models for District-wide engagement, and centering the experiences of students to cultivate a community of belonging that is just, equitable, in queer solidarity, and centers racial justice. The taskforce will further develop its focus, but will begin with:
- Grounding all work in students’ experiences, disaggregated data for success outcomes, completion rates, and student engagement.
- Establishing a working guide for IDEAA in action and definition.
- Advising on the review and communication of campus climate assessments, including possible recommendations to cultivate a community of belonging, safe spaces, and collaborations to build an IDEAA college community.
- Providing a repository of IDEAA activities and programs throughout the District for students and employees.
- Supporting the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Plan.
- Providing a recommendation on the type of District group that could continue the work as part of participatory governance.
- Communicating its progress to College Council and contributing towards District wide communication.
The timeline for this Taskforce’s work is May 2024 through May 2025.
