President, Rev. Robert A. Dowd's, Initiatives going forward...and, in the context of recent Open Forum posts...especially the Notre Dame Board of Trustees' Task Force Report on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is a rather detailed and comprehensive document that includes the following sections related to DEI at ND... I) Introduction, II) Context, III) Process, IV) Observations, V) Strategic Framework, VI) Conclusion and Next Steps.

One takeaway from this document should be that DEI is firmly entrenched in the fabric of this University...and reading, even a small amount of it, should help you understand why that is.

btw, I'd also recommend clicking on the embedded link to Fr. Dowd's Inaugural Speech.
