Auburn hosted its first State of Inclusion event in April 2022, convening campus leaders who are accelerating DEI progress at Auburn for our people, our campus, and our community. This presentation outlines progress to date on key DEI issues and the strategic efforts Auburn has made at an institutional level to make Auburn a community where all members are valued, respected, and can thrive personally and professionally. Developed by the Office of Inclusion and Diversity in conjunction with university leadership, this summary features the progress Auburn has made largely within the last few years and especially following the formation of the Presidential Task Force in 2020 which has implemented new initiatives, scholarships, hiring practices, and campus policies to create a more accepting campus environment. Most importantly, it highlights Auburn’s commitment to continued progress and how the university is always striving to create a better tomorrow for its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and surrounding community.
The four subcommittees of the Presidential Task Force for Opportunity and Equity have made recommendations to address disparities in recruitment and retention, as well as the implementation of a campus-wide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Education program.
