Strategic Action Plan on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Statement by President Alan B. Donovan

The College at Oneonta has engaged for years in integrating the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion into the fabric of our culture at the individual level and as an institution. Our recent efforts have been exemplified by our commitment to create an environment that is welcoming and respectful for all and where individuals are valued, not simply tolerated. As a campus community, we continue to move from tolerance and acceptance to appreciation and inclusion.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has been evident in many endeavors, ranging from the celebration of teaching and research to programming at multiple levels, diversity seminars, Safe Space training, assessment of the College campus climate, and the establishment of the Office of Equity and Inclusion. This Strategic Action Plan focus our efforts as we strive to become a leader in building a truly diverse and inclusive campus community and as we prepare our students with the knowledge and skills to lead, work, serve, and live in diverse world.
