Having completed a comprehensive study over the past five years of its social climate and diversity-related efforts, the University of Dayton is pleased to launch a collaborative, well-coordinated and proactive strategy for diversity, equity and inclusion.

The University's strategic plan for diversity, equity and inclusion is centered around four overarching strategic goals: 

1. Create and sustain an equitable and inclusive campus climate 
2. Achieve and sustain greater diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the University community 
3. Create a robust curricular and co-curricular architecture to advance diversity, equity and inclusion 
4. Develop, implement, assess and report on unit-based strategic plans to advance inclusive excellence 

The University is carefully reviewing the SCOTUS decision on affirmative action and how this might impact the University's 2020-2024 strategic plan. Updates will be provided as necessary.
