Additional Information:
To ensure that there is a shared understanding of this role within the context of the Office of Equity, Inclusion & Employee Well-being, included below are definitions of key working terms pertinent to this position:
Social justice
Social justice is both a goal and a process. The goal of social justice is full and equitable participation of people from all social identity groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs. The process for attaining the goal of social justice should also be democratic and participatory, respectful of human diversity and group differences, and inclusive and affirming of human agency and capacity for working collaboratively with others to create change. (Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice, Edited by Maurianne Adams and Lee Anne Bell, with Diane Goodman and Khyati Joshi)
Care
Care is our collective capacity to express concern and empathy for one another. It requires us to act, defend, and advance the dignity of all human beings, animals, and the environment. This gets at the core of what justice is about: the act of caring for the well-being and dignity of others. (Four Pivots by Shawn Ginwright)
Health equity
Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be healthier. This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care. In short, health equity can be understood not just as the absence of inequity but rather a fair, just distribution of the resources and opportunities needed to achieve well-being. (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)
Systemic racism
A complex sociopolitical system of public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various ways, by which racism and racial group inequity is developed, maintained, perpetuated, and protected. (Adapted from racialequitytools.org)
Racial equity
Conditions, processes, and practices that would be achieved if one's racial identity no longer predicted, in a statistical sense, how one fares. Racial equity is a component of racial justice, which can include elimination of policies, practices, attitudes, cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race. (Adapted from Racial Equity Tools, racial equity tools.
Well-being
Well-being is an active pursuit to understand and fulfill individual human needs, which allows people to flourish and realize their full potential. Every person has unique, fluid well-being aspirations and successful initiatives require working towards positive, equitable outcomes for our campus community around seven intersecting elements of well-being.
