Brown University’s Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) is the comprehensive strategic plan that drives efforts across campus to create and sustain a diverse and inclusive community necessary for the advancement of knowledge, learning and discovery.
The Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity (OIED) oversees the DIAP, an ambitious action plan to ensure a more fully diverse and inclusive campus that continues to advance inclusive excellence, creates new opportunities for underrepresented scholars to teach and conduct research, and offers a campus-wide understanding of the essential roles that diversity, equity and inclusion play in Brown’s success as a leading research university.
Through OIED’s partnerships and collaborations with departments and individuals across the University, we advance a shared responsibility for creating a campus that is inclusive and equitable for all members of the community. We coordinate with all academic and administrative units at Brown to measure progress toward the DIAP’s goals and sustain a commitment to accountability through a robust network of oversight and annual reporting.
Through the DIAP and the ongoing oversight managed by our office, Brown is committed to policies, structures and practices that advance inclusion and diversity at Brown.
