Faculty Committee on Diversity and Inclusion (FCDI)
The Faculty Committee on Diversity and Inclusion (FCDI) is a standing committee of the Faculty Senate. Its purpose is to create and sustain a civil and robust dialogue about the value of a diverse faculty body. A diverse faculty and staff community refers to colleagues from varied racial, ethnic, national, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic, geographical and religious backgrounds. A diverse faculty/staff member also may have life experiences, perspectives, and cultural traditions that are underrepresented in the academy or in a particular academic discipline. The FCDI members are also committed to diverse membership without unreasonably expecting traditionally underrepresented groups should or must serve on this committee. Please see the Faculty Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice page at https://www.stedwards.edu/
