Revolution U: Dismantling Systemic Racism in Faculty Hiring
Revolution U: Dismantling Systemic Racism in Faculty Hiring is a convening that welcomes participants to discuss, engage, and change faculty hiring practices. Over the course of two days, invited guests will engage with notable experts to make systemic change for their own institutions and for the nation. Guests will also participate in hands-on, and interactive activities that will lead to new and innovative practices for diversifying faculty. Of note, this convening is highly participatory in nature.
All program fees, materials, and meals will be covered by the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Leadership, Equity, and Justice at Rutgers University.
