This is it 🎯 DEI is about merit. Removal of bias and barriers so merit can be seen. As said 👇🏽 the merit of some has at times been discounted.

👇🏽 💯

Dear Full Professors, One way to act DEI is to nominate earlier career colleagues for awards. Do it generously and liberally. I've got four on the go. They are all for equity-deserving scholars. #DEI #EDI #Diversity #AcademicChatter

As far as I can tell, there has been no resistance to any of these changes inside any agency. They only win if you don’t fight back. One way we can fight is by doing more than ever to recruit, support, train, and promote our URM students and colleagues. They want us to abandon each other. Don’t.

Co-hosted by Weatern Research and The Office of Indigenous Initiatives, this event is not to be missed 👇🏽
