incorporate diversity and inclusion into their courses. As a method to
encourage and assess this goal, faculty have agreed to report how diversity and
equity content is included in each of their courses as part of their annual
faculty productivity reports.
Department members are encouraged to
respect and use self-identified pronouns for all current and prospective
students, faculty, and staff.
