The SHU Athletics Inclusive Excellence Committee was established in the Fall of 2020 to work collaboratively with campus, conference, and the NCAA in designing, implementing, and overseeing sustainable policies, procedures, and educational programming within athletics.
This led to the creation of four (4) working groups whose purpose has been to start real conversation among the athletic department on issues surrounding bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion with the premise being -” Education through Conversation and Action”.
The Working Groups:
Gender/LGBTQ+
Race/Social Justice
Hiring, Community Involvement, Work Life Integration
Mental Wellness
This is a safe space where colleagues are free to have brave conversations and bring about change as it relates to practices, policies, procedures, and educational programming within athletics. The guiding principle would be to create a more diverse and inclusive environment that empowers our staff, coaches, and student-athletes with knowledge to engage and address systemic equities.
