Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The priorities set forth by President Drake in 2022 include expanding opportunity and excellence (priority 1) and strengthening an inclusive, respectful, and safe community (priority 3).  With these priorities UC aspires to broaden access and opportunities for Californians and to be accountable for disparate opportunities and outcomes for members of our community. 

“The UC community has a collective responsibility to understand and be accountable for its own histories that have resulted in disparate opportunity and different and exclusionary experiences for members of its most vulnerable communities.”
— UC Presidential Priorities 

The dashboards highlighted below contribute to these goals through public sharing of system data that reflect the diversity of the UC community, assess equity and inequity in institutional outcomes, and explore the ways in which our students, faculty, and staff experience the UC environment as either inclusive or exclusionary.
