Equity, Inclusivity and Belonging All-College Committee

In 2021, the All-College Committee on Equity, Inclusivity & Belonging (EIB) merged the President’s Commission on Inclusivity, the Working Group on Sexual Harassment & Misconduct and the Bias Education & Response Team into a single, permanent all-college committee.  

The committee is charged with improving policies related to harassment and discrimination, monitoring progress on the Inclusivity Strategic Plan and ensuring the training and education of all members of the community on equity, inclusivity and belonging. To do so, the EIB Committee will…

• Monitor the college’s adherence to and legal compliance with policies and legislation such as Titles VI, VII, IX, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, etc. 
• Ensure ongoing dialogue to enhance and improve all policies related to harassment and discrimination.
• Monitor trends in the field, receive, review, and make recommendations to senior leadership relative to proposed substantive changes to policies related to harassment and discrimination.
• Monitor, engage and educate our community relative to bias-related concerns.
• Monitor and report progress on the Inclusivity Strategic Plan to the community.
• Ensure that students, faculty, and staff are educated about and receive professional development on issues of equity, inclusivity & belonging.
• Ensure that departments and divisions are creating unified and cohesive inclusivity efforts in their creation of extra- and co-curricular programming; it shall not recommend or pursue any course of action that would impede academic freedom.
• Advise on education and training to ensure recruitment and retention of a diverse student body, faculty, and staff.

The EIB Team is comprised of representatives from across the entire Dickinson campus with members from senior leadership, faculty, staff, and students. Meet our team!
