- We have funded an innovative proposal called the Marist College Diversity Leadership Institute (MCDLI), 是由心理学副教授Stacey A.S. Williams. The MCDLI is designed to train faculty and staff members in three aspects of diversity development: awareness, application, and action. Once trained, these facilitators are able to implement or sustain diversity and inclusion initiatives on the Marist campus.

- Marist has instituted mandatory training on diversity and inclusion, as well as implicit bias. We believe everyone would benefit from the opportunity to build awareness of personal biases and ways to combat them.

——研究开展网络培训, 类似于已经到位的bet亚洲365欢迎投注第九条指导方针的培训, and diversity experts and coaches will continue to come to campus to speak on a regular basis.

- In addition to requiring that students participate in campus-wide diversity and implicit bias training, incoming first-years will continue to have anti-bias programming through Orientation and we will look to strengthen it.

- The 新兴领袖计划 will also reinforce its diversity-related programming to better prepare students to engage with the world around them.

-全面检讨课程. Over the near term, we will ask the faculty to consider instituting a mandatory diversity class that will be required of all students before they graduate. We are also open to the suggestion that Marist implement a campus-wide common reading regarding racism and will research ways to put this idea into practice.

- Marist will continue to emphasize diversity in the speakers and presentations we bring to campus, 特别是通过我们正在进行的理解种族系列讲座.

-仅在过去几年, 我们很荣幸能邀请到康奈尔·韦斯特, Michael Eric Dyson, Michelle Alexander, Ibram X. Kendi, Bakari Sellers和Reyna Grande. This fall, 我们本来打算招待约瑟夫·萨拉姆的, 被无罪释放的中央公园五人组之一, but the pandemic has unfortunately necessitated the cancellation of that event.

-招聘的多样性是任何优秀组织的标志, and the College is committed to thoroughly analyzing its hiring practices at all levels and operational areas, 包括高级职位, staff, faculty. 一旦我们完成了这个分析并建立了一个基线, 我们将努力改进, 特别是在缺乏多元化代表的地区.

- At 20 percent, Marist leads our group of 30 US News private comparator institutions in the number of faculty of color. 虽然这个消息很受欢迎, we readily acknowledge that there is still work to be done in terms of increasing the number of Black and other historically underrepresented faculty members at the College.

-检讨及分享有关学业进度的资料, graduation rates, 以及其他学生成功的指标. 我们认为，重要的是建立一个我们可以改进的基线. View our Diversity & Inclusion By the Numbers page >

——分享我们在哪些领域取得了良好进展也同样重要. For example, our first-year retention rates and graduation rates for Black students are well above the national average. 尽管如此，在这方面仍有更多的工作要做.

- Marist commits a substantial portion of its institutional assets to recruit and provide financial aid to students from underrepresented backgrounds. 这些努力得到了回报，因为, in the last decade, the percentage of students of color at Marist in the incoming first-year class has increased from 14 percent to approximately 22 percent in this year’s class.

- The percentage of Black students and multiracial students who identify as Black has increased from three percent to seven percent during this time. We would like to see this success continue and are reviewing all of our enrollment practices to ensure we continue to improve.

- We have been test-optional for years and have engaged in proactive outreach to build a pipeline of students of color.

- Marist will place a strong emphasis on endowed scholarships in our next capital campaign.

- Our grants offices have been instructed to focus on opportunities for research in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.

-火星社区的每一位成员都有权在这里感到受欢迎, 非常重要的是，任何偏见的例子, discrimination, 仇恨言论应该被报告和调查. bet亚洲365欢迎投注长期以来一直有一个系统来处理这些问题.

- Students are strongly encouraged to report all bias incidents to the Vice President for Student Affairs so that complaints may be handled through the Office of Student Conduct.

- Complaints involving faculty should be routed through the Vice President for Academic Affairs, while issues involving administrators and staff members should be reported to the Vice President for Human Resources.

-虽然有明确的程序, we are also committed to reviewing our procedures to see if there is room for improvement, either in the way complaints are handled or in the way the process is communicated to members of the Marist community.

- Marist is committed to continuing and expanding our commitment to inner-city populations in our region, 尤其关注波基普西. 因为我们的位置, Marist feels a special obligation to engage with the Poughkeepsie community and support initiatives that serve its residents and promote the city’s development.

- The College has been a longtime supporter of the Catharine Street Community Center, Family Services, 还有很多其他的社区组织. Most recently, 该学院已成为波基普西儿童内阁的一部分, which is City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison’s initiative to bring together school districts, government agencies, 儿童服务社区组织, and other local stakeholders to improve collaboration and coordination of youth supports and services.

- These community efforts are in addition to Marist’s continued commitment to the 自由伙伴计划, Upward Bound, 以及纽堡大学早期高中项目, 所有这些都集中在贫民区青年的教育需求上. 而波基普西是我们的重点, we are proud to be part of efforts to help students in Kingston and Newburgh as well.

- We are also rightfully proud of the excellent work done in the community by our 公民参与和领导中心美国社会正义研究中心(Center for Social Justice Research) 属灵生活与服事部.

——马瑞斯特要做好邻居，继续向前走, we will review our contracting and purchasing practices to ensure that local businesses owned by minorities, women, 退伍军人也有很好的代表. In addition, we will encourage more faculty and staff to live in the City of Poughkeepsie and explore ways to incentivize their residency there.
