Example 2 (from a student ambassador program)

Original text: The college is committed to fostering a welcoming culture. It’s important that our students, staff, faculty, and guests feel included and represented at the School. We insist on a climate of belonging, not just because it creates a safe place for everyone, but because we’re all better and more empathetic people when we learn what it’s like to live in someone else’s shoes. Because of this, the School and the University of Utah offer clubs, events, initiatives, and many other resources to foster a welcoming environment. This college is for everyone.

Example 4 (campus guide from a 2020 event)

Original text: In 2020, the University of Utah's Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, Dr. Mary Ann Villarreal, tasked a group of staff and faculty to investigate and report on policies/practices in academia that encourage ongoing pedagogical development that is centered on diversity and inclusion in classrooms on campus and online. The contents of this draft were used to inform future directions for the University of Utah Division of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. See index of sections (left) for what is essentially an annotated bibliography in the wish that this will inform your research. (Published here).

Updated text: No update needed. This is a historical event that predates the July 1, 2024 effective date of the legislation. No changes necessary.

Example 5 (describes an academic, research-based approach that is NOT associated with an academic program)

Original text: Using a Pan-African lens, the center seeks to holistically enrich, support, and advocate for faculty, staff, trainees, and students through Black-centered research, culturally affirming educational initiatives, and service.

The Center will enact this mission through intentional programmatic learning outcomes, envisioned to build a sense of belonging and community at the U, with the goal of increasing the recruitment and retention of Black faculty, staff, and students. Through research, education, and service this center will promote and explore race/racism, social justice, cross disciplines, community connections, centering the Black voice, leadership, and the larger African diasporic community.

Updated text: Dedicated to creating a campus where all are welcome and thrive, the center seeks to holistically enrich, support, and advocate for faculty, staff, trainees, and students through research, educational initiatives and service.
