Help Tufts become an anti-racist institution. Participate in a community engagement session.

Your voice is important! The Institutional Audit and Targeted Action workstream committee invites you to participate in an upcoming engagement session.

Tufts has been actively engaged in identifying any evidence of structural racism in our processes, practices, and policies at the university and taking the necessary steps to ensure that Tufts is an anti-racist institution.

As part of this self-examination and commitment to actively become an anti-racist institution, conversations are happening in all areas of the university—at team meetings, department retreats, workshops, and through the five anti-racist workstreams that were formalized on July 8, 2020.

Your voice is important!  The success of these efforts is only possible if every member of the Tufts community participates. The Institutional Audit & Targeted Action workstream committee invites you to register for an upcoming community engagement session:

• Thursday, January 21, 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 
• Tuesday, January 26, 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. 
• Wednesday, January 27, noon – 1:00 p.m.
• Thursday, January 28, 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

By sharing your feedback and insights, you will help define the targeted actions Tufts will implement and make a real impact on reimagining a Tufts that embraces diversity, equity,  inclusion, and anti-racism.

Tufts has partnered with Accenture to help us with the institutional audit, and we will join them to facilitate these community conversations. These sessions are intended to be confidential and anything you share will not be attributed to you in any reporting out on the sessions.

For more information about the community engagement sessions, or if you can’t attend and would like to share your feedback, email InstitutionalAudit@tufts.edu.

Thank you for your participation,
