Across the nation, we are seeing protests against police brutality that are being held in the name of equity and equal treatment under the law. These demonstrations are the visible part of the iceberg; the key point is that all of us are responsible for pervasive racism and changing the systems that perpetuate it. For example, efforts to increase campus equity are ineffective without addressing systems that perpetuate exclusion. Without intentional inclusion, diversity is not enough. Today’s edition of the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup highlights a study from 2017 that underscores the importance of inclusion in our diversity initiatives if we want to ensure lasting change and success.
