Diversity Education & Leadership Initiative (DELI)
DELI is a campus-wide Diversity Initiative focusing on education opportunities, leadership training and communications. The EVC/Provost charged the Committee with responsibility to develop and implement a comprehensive diversity education & training initiative to build institutional capacity to enhance diversity; offer skill-building and leadership development opportunities for faculty, staff and students; and create infrastructure supporting a long-term diversity strategy.
The charge specifies three primary tasks:
- Create a web-based clearinghouse to provide a single source access to all diversity resources on campus
- Develop and implement a communications strategy to keep diversity and the campus’s efforts toward diversity in the public eye; and
- Set parameters for the measure and assessment of success of diversity initiatives
The Committee began its duties in the Spring of 2008 with the roll-out of the Diversity@UCR website restructure featuring a clearinghouse. The clearinghouse features on any program, resource or service that has a primary focus or significant component furthering diversity of the campus.
