Equity & Inclusion in Hiring Initiative
Purpose Statement
The purpose of the Equity & Inclusion in Hiring workgroup is to create a comprehensive, actionable plan for instituting an equitable, inclusive hiring process that ensures UC Santa Cruz recruits a diverse workforce. We believe that attracting, hiring, and retaining employees that reflect the rich diversity of the State of California, is essential to our success. Promoting a climate of inclusion and belonging is paramount. Together, we intend to establish the organizational infrastructure necessary to empower everyone involved in the hiring process to succeed in equitable recruitment. We recognize the urgent need for solutions; the time is now to act, not only to imagine.
