Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
NCURA's Region II DE&I Committee
aligns with the Council's goal of
promoting a culture of respect for all.
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF UNIVERSITY RESEARCH ADMINISTRATORS
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) recognizes, values, and celebrates diversity of persons, skills, and experiences in its mission to advance the profession of research administration. Thus, NCURA is committed to building and maintaining a diverse membership and a culture of inclusion. Every member of NCURA has a right, without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, social class, sexual orientation, ability, personality, functional experience, or background, to fair and respectful treatment, equal access to resources to support professional growth, and equitable opportunities to contribute to NCURA’s success.
It is the responsibility of DEIC to:
-
Review Region II selection processes for officers, committees, and awards to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion
-
Ensure Region II events and meetings are accessible and inclusive
-
Advise and support the Chair, and Regional Steering Committee, as requested
-
Ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion are front and center of all work of Region II so that all members feel a sense of belonging
To this end, the committee continually seeks
your suggestions for DE&I learning opportunities, speakers and/or events, as well as
feedback on Region 2 DE&I offerings.
