Advancing Racial Equity (ARE) by Department Heading link
UIC’s Advancing Racial Equity initiative is a response designed to address the institutional and structural racism that impacts our campus and our neighboring communities. A team of individuals across campus, including the Office of Diversity, Equity & Engagement and the Office of the Dean of Students created a template, so that all units can develop a plan to Advance Racial Equity (ARE). This template will assist units in creating their vision for advancing racial equity within their area. Below are the completed templates for each College of Nursing Department.
