DEI Committee

The UMSI DEI Committee is one of several groups at the School of Information that focus on building an equitable and inclusive school community and addressing priority needs. The DEI Committee’s priorities are determined by UMSI’s DEI Office leadership in consultation with the UMSI leadership team and informed by UMSI community feedback and consultation. The committee also raises issues it identifies to the school leadership. The committee is composed of a combination of UMSI faculty, staff and students.

The DEI Committee is organized into subcommittees which may vary from year to year depending on priorities. The subcommittees for the 24-25 school year are:

DEI 2.0 Implementation: Help implement, communicate and evaluate progress on UMSI's DEI 2.0 plan (and where relevant, the University's DEI 2.0 plan).
Culture of Care Framework: Identify a set of community values, skills, norms and activities that define and represent a “culture of care” for UMSI.
Inclusive Teaching: Help implement anti-racist and inclusive teaching practices throughout the degree programs at UMSI.
