The UICB’s Program Reform: Beginning the Work of Addressing Systemic Racism
From our June 2020 pledge:
The UICB recognizes the work it needs to do locally to serve a larger reform movement addressing white supremacy. The recognition begins with humility—not out of passivity or quiescence. Humility is the first step in learning what we do not know and unlearning the kinds of knowledge that do damage. We also recognize that words like these are words, feeling generic the minute they are conjured and feeling inadequate from the start. We commit, then, to the following areas of focus:
- to revise our curriculum to foreground artists, makers, and historical actors of color;
- to seek hiring lines that correct for the whiteness of the department and the field, lobbying the UI administration to hold to this principle; and
- to recruit and enroll students of color to ensure opportunity and advancement by under-represented minorities in higher education.
