About the event
Systemic racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice continue to challenge our higher education institutions. These issues touch numerous interrelated areas of higher education, from employee engagement and advancement to student access and success. MOLLI, the MarylandOnline Leadership Institute, is sponsoring a one-day event on diversity in higher education. The agenda includes hiring for diversity, maintaining a supportive environment, communicating with openness, and handling difficult issues.
The Institute will culminate with the development of a model position statement on diversity for participants’ institutions.
