Roueche Center Forum: Are We Really Serious About Diversity, Equity and Inclusion?

cmaadmin at Diverse - 6 hours ago
While I believe that most faculty members and leaders, no matter their race or ethnicity, value diversity and are committed to the concepts of equity and inclusion — and may even have specific goals to improve diversity — progress is stalled.

Labour Together's Diplomatic Silences

Labour people have a simple way of separating those worth listening to from those who aren't on social media platforms.
