Diversity, equity and inclusion are themes in much of the BVA’s work, including the RACs, Steering Committee agendas, and special projects. They have, however, become more urgent and visible as the pandemic has forced a move to online teaching, learning and assessment, putting some students at significant risk. With this in mind—as well as heightened attention to issues of racial justice—the initial goal of this group is to develop an NSF funding proposal that will open up this area of work in ways supporting efforts on BVA campuses.
