Committee for Inclusion and Equity
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics Committee for Inclusion and Equity was formed in spring quarter 2018. The information on this webpage provides an overview of the strategic direction the committee has identified to help us work collectively and collaboratively to ensure that we are creating an environment in which all members of the college community can be successful.
Vision
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics strives to empower all students, faculty, and staff to succeed in a diverse and inclusive community that values respect, equity and social justice.
Mission
Our mission is to create an inclusive and equitable college culture by addressing policies and practices that are barriers to success
Values
We embrace the following IDEAS as we establish pathways of success for all members of our Cal Poly community.
Inclusion
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics works toward inclusion by creating learning environments that are characterized by mutual respect, careful listening and learning from each other, and acknowledgment that everyone's participation is important.
Diversity
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics works toward creating learning environments that allow for meaningful development of self-awareness, knowledge, and skills, as well as attention to others who may have experiences, worldviews, and values that are different from their own.
Equity
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics works toward equity by providing historically marginalized groups access, participation, resources, and the tools necessary to attain academic achievement and success as readily as their more privileged counterparts.
Access
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics committee for inclusion and equity works toward access by recognizing that there are historical and structural inequities that often result in gaps in opportunity. The committee’s vision, mission, and objectives are to increase awareness of such inequities and work collaboratively among faculty, students and staff to provide opportunities for success.
Social Justice
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics acknowledges that inequities in higher education are reflective of broader ideological beliefs, institutional policies, and everyday practices. Our college works to advance justice-oriented theories, policy, and action that promote social change.
Inclusion and Equity Fund
During academic year 2019-20, the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics established an inclusion and equity fund to support the objectives of the Bailey College Committee for Inclusion and Equity.
Funding continues to be available each year to support important learning and work associated with equity, inclusion, diversity and social justice!
The fund provides support for events or activities that fulfill the mission, vision, and objectives of the Bailey College Inclusion and Equity Committee.
Objectives
- Ensure that all members of the college community are educated and informed of our committee’s initiatives.
- Ensure that the Bailey College has policies and procedures that
facilitate equity and inclusion. - Provide guidance and resources for faculty to promote and develop culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy and curriculum.
- Create a college community where all students, faculty and staff feel a sense of belonging.
- Create a college culture in which faculty, staff, and students are committed to actively supporting diversity, equity and inclusion on campus and in their fields.
- Identify, share and promote professional development opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
