About 91看片鈥檚 Office of Equity and Inclusion

Moore-Thomas is 91看片鈥檚 first chief equity and inclusion officer at 91看片 University Maryland. In planning for concrete action steps, the office of equity and inclusion approaches these issues with an integrative model of leadership, which draws its strength from partnerships and collaborations extending to every division of our university. The President鈥檚 Council on Equity and Inclusion is leading the development of the diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan.

These measures are being developed as we speak and will be rolled out in fall 2020 with a three-year plan that will challenge and engage our whole institution.
