DIVERSITY FACULTY GUIDE
The following Diversity Guidelines have been adapted for use at Dominican as a supplement to the institutional syllabus model/outline adopted and ratified by the Faculty Forum in Spring 2017.
This supplement is provided for school, department, program, and faculty use in developing curricula and syllabi that:
Reflect and uphold the University’s Diversity Declaration;
Meet the diversity assessment requirements for Academic Program Review at the University (Dominican Program Review Manual, July 2015, p. 9); and,
Address the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) Standards 1.1, 1.4, 2.7, and 4.4 (2013 WSCUC Standards, April 2015 revised version).
As such, these are very general suggestions, and depend on the context and discipline of the Academic Program, its role in the departmental and university curriculum, the level and size of your class, and your own preferred teaching styles.

This toolkit is meant for anyone who feels there is a lack of productive discourse around issues of diversity and the role of identity in social relationships, both on a micro (individual) and macro (communal) level. Perhaps you are a teacher, youth group facilitator, student affairs personnel or manage a team that works with an underserved population. Training of this kind can provide historical context about the politics of identity and the dynamics of power and privilege or help build greater self-awareness.
