Our Office

Mission

Faculty professional development, recruitment and retention (across all ranks); across all constituencies, because part of the work is breaking down silos between faculty, staff and students.

The Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Officer (FDIO) serves as an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the overall academic program, partnering with the Dean of the Faculty to support individual faculty members and academic departments. The officers advance the principles of inclusive excellence in three significant domains: (1) recruitment and retention of top-rate scholar-teachers; (2) ongoing professional development that allows faculty members to thrive throughout their careers; (3) confidential consultations with faculty members as needed.

Exit Interviews

Conducted over 300, including with full-time employees, visiting associate professors, coaches and administrators
