Transforming HSIs: Mission, Identity, Strategic Purpose by Shradha Tibrewal https://padlet.com/shradhat/x557ckobdhdfsr7f Please share how your department/unit's implicit or explicit mission, identity, and strategic purpose further the commitment to equity and justice for all minoritized students (Latinx, Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Mixed-race, low-income)? Or how does Dr. Garcia's conceptualization of mission, identity, and strategic purpose reflect in your department's policies, practices, and/or engagement with students? en-us 2023-04-28 15:19:40 UTC 2023-04-28 22:23:32 UTC hello@padlet.com My department does NOT want to talk about race... In my 10 years at Stan, I have yet to see an African American in my department, and I have brought it up multiple times. https://padlet.com/shradhat/x557ckobdhdfsr7f/wish/2572261983

Previous version is on our website: https://www.csustan.edu/biology I would describe that version as race-neutral, or colorblind. We are revising it to include ideas of cultural community wealth, and challenging inequality in our work. But our current draft does not mention we are an HSI, and does not name the identities of our students.]]> 2023-04-28 22:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/x557ckobdhdfsr7f/wish/2572268826 Strategic purpose is more that graduation rates mcover14_1 https://padlet.com/shradhat/x557ckobdhdfsr7f/wish/2572269755 empowering experiences, liberatory outcomes, antiracist orientation, ]]> 2023-04-28 22:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/x557ckobdhdfsr7f/wish/2572269755
