Inclusive Excellence...
- moves beyond numbers and involves embedding practices and philosophies that encourage diversity in every aspect of an organization.
- promotes institutionalization of systemic practices and philosophies generating a broader outcome with numerical representation serving as a byproduct of inclusive excellence.
- shifts the responsibilities for diversity toward the institution as opposed to one unit or area having sole responsibility of understanding and implementing the diversity mission.
- moves an institution, organization, or program from valuing diversity – with access and cultural competence as its primary goals – to ensuring through structural interventions that all groups are achieving the desired outcomes at equitable rates.
