Equity, Diversity & Inclusive Excellence
Our commitment
Our goal is to build a diverse and representative academic community that recognizes the importance of social, economic, health, and environmental justice. We strive to promote diversity and equity and to be a model of inclusive excellence.
As a tri-campus partnership, ColoradoSPH stands with academic, practice, and community partners nationwide to condemn racism, injustice, and inequity. Racism is a public health crisis, and we are committed to dismantling structural racism. Ableism, ageism, homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia, xenophobia, and all other forms of hatred or discrimination will not be tolerated. We are committed to recognizing and confronting our internalized racism and implicit biases and constantly striving to act in ways that affirm and support students, staff, faculty, leadership, alumni, and communities with whom we engage.
On July 28, 2021, the Colorado School of Public Health held a town hall to update students, staff, and faculty on activities initiated following the release of 2020 Plan to Dismantle Structural Racism and Advancing Inclusive Excellence. Participants had an opportunity to ask questions, provide input about the school’s efforts, and offer recommendations for next steps.
On
July 22, 2020, the Colorado School of Public Health held a town hall to
provide an open forum to discuss the draft plan to address structural
racism and inequality
within our community and explore the external role of the school.
