Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
The mission of the the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Council is to pursue the work today that creates the structures and processes needed for an equitable UNMC College of Public Health.
We do this by:
- Organizing resources and offering guidance and direction
- Establishing mechanisms for measurement and accountability for growth in justice, equity, diversity and inclusion
- Providing leadership and support in the development and implementation of initiatives that achieve our justice, equity, diversity and inclusion vision in education, research and service
