博彩平台发布了一项全面的计划，以应对种族主义和增加校园多样性，这项努力包括数十名代表广泛背景和观点的个人的投入。

The 反种族主义和包容性校园计划, released June 29, illustrates the University’s acknowledgement that “we have a lot of work to do” and its commitment to move the campus toward a culture that is fair and welcoming to all, said President Robert S. Nelsen.

“I ask that all of us play a role in supporting the implementation of the plan and holding each other accountable,” the President said.

 该计划是近80名学生、教职员工和管理人员数月努力的结果，涉及招聘实践、员工保留、课程开发、偏见报告、校园透明度和许多其他主题。

该大学很快将征求更广泛的Sac州立社区的回应，并为推进报告中提出的建议提供初步步骤。 A presidential convocation addressing the report’s findings and implementation takes place Wednesday, Sept. 29.

“This plan addresses our entire university community,” said Melinda Wilson Ramey, 囊状态 interim vice president for 包容的卓越. “It sheds light on the biases, racism, and injustices that exist on our campus and impacts not only students but also faculty, staff, and administrators in every department, every division.”

Among the plan’s recommendations for fighting bias and inequity on campus:

• Bolster diversity training to encourage “equity-minded hiring.”
• 制定员工保留计划，包括帮助新员工为家属找到学校，并与社区团体和其他资源建立联系。
• Create more physical spaces that encourage “positive interactions among the diverse faculty and staff, students and community members.”
• Add a “multicultural lens” to curriculum development, and create a committee to review courses to ensure they reflect diversity and eliminate bias.
• 定期举行市政厅会议，强调校园的关键问题和关注。
• Hire “culturally competent” mental health professionals to help members of the campus community affected by racially biased stress.
• 为教职员工和学生提供种族偏见培训。
• 改进对涉嫌种族主义和偏见事件的报告和反应。
• 创建一个反种族主义和包容团队，在校园内的不同群体和学科之间建立联系和桥梁。
• 安装壁画和其他艺术作品，庆祝服务不足的社区，包括有色人种和LGBTQ个人。
• 增加大学反种族主义努力的宣传和知名度。

其中一些建议已经在发挥作用。 For example, the University has launched a new centralized system that allows students and employees to easily report bias, discrimination and harassment, sexual violence, and issues of academic integrity, said Skip Bishop, who in addition to serving with Wilson Ramey as interim vice president of 包容的卓越 is 囊状态’s director of Equal Opportunity and 第九条 coordinator. 一名新的反偏见主任将监督报告系统。

The 反种族主义和包容性校园计划 is 囊状态’s response to nationwide protests and calls for change following  recent police killings of unarmed people of color. As one of the nation’s most diverse college campuses, 囊状态 must be a leader in the movement, the report says.

“People are demanding reform and restructuring of our systems,” it concludes. “Our work in this area must begin at home, at 萨克拉门托 State.”
