Recommendation Report 2023
In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, the foundation of an institution's success lies not only in its academic pursuits but also in its unwavering commitment to equity and inclusivity.
California State University, Northridge (CSUN), is an institution dedicated to shaping the future of countless lives through education and stands 铿乺mly rooted in this ethos. President Erika D. Beck's commissioning and steadfast support of this equity infrastructure review and subsequent report underscores the collective belief that equity is not merely an ideal, but a tangible goal worth pursuing relentlessly.
PMJ Consulting (PMJ) was selected to lead this review on behalf of CSUN. PMJ Consulting assessed CSUN鈥檚 existing university-level equity infrastructure, including the Chief Diversity Officer position (senior level administrator focused on equity and justice), Office of Equity and Compliance and Commission on Diversity and Inclusion to discover opportunities and provide insight into new directions as aligned with CSUN鈥檚 Road Map to the Future. This report recommends shifts with the role of an equity champion/Chief Diversity Officer (CDO), who helps CSUN build upon its foundation, amplify its Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) values, and ensures that essential administrative functions are effectively executed.
The consultative process for informing recommendations ensured the broad participation of the CSUN community. As such, the recommendations and report were developed to ensure that the CSUN community was heard and understood.
