The READI team is writing a strategic plan informed by the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion strategic priority from the Chico State Strategic Plan 2019-2024:
Cultivate and nurture a welcoming and inclusive campus where students, faculty, and staff have an equitable opportunity to thrive.
- Recognize that historically underserved students have not had equal access or opportunity for educational success
- Maximize the recruitment, retention, support, and graduation of diverse students
- Eliminate achievement gaps by providing excellence in education and support to all students
- Promote hiring and retention that contributes to a diverse and inclusive community that reflects student demographics
- Develop and enhance policies, programs, and activities that support an inclusive, accessible, and equitable learning and working environment
- Honor the distinct values, beliefs, identities, and cultures of our students, faculty, staff, and community
- Address real-world issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion through interdisciplinary and international experiences
- Cultivate an environment that embraces diversity of thought, freedom of expression, and respect for others
