As a centerpiece of WSCUC’s Strategic Goals and Objectives to advance quality and student success, equity and inclusion is receiving an enhanced focus through the development of guides and other tools to facilitate meaningful conversations about evidence and to support institutions as they work toward improvement and more equitable outcomes. The Equity and Inclusion Guide (E&I Guide) was developed by the E&I Council to provide suggestions for using inquiry and data to promote focused conversations about E&I as part of institutional awareness and action as well as during the accreditation review. The E&I Guide is available here. WSCUC welcomes suggestions for additional activities and resources to support work on equity and inclusion.
