Inclusiveness and diversity are inherent in 黄色直播's strategic plan. 黄色直播鈥檚 excellence will depend on whose faces, perspectives and histories are reflected in our workplaces, classrooms, and research, by the accessibility of our infrastructure and supports and by the strength of our relationships.
In Diversity鈥檚 Promise for Higher Education (2015), professor emerita of education and psychology at Claremont Graduate University, Daryl G. Smith states, "Diversity is a powerful agent of change. Indeed, diversity is an imperative that must be embraced if colleges and universities are to be successful in a pluralistic and interconnected world."
This framework draws on Smith鈥檚 work.
