“We decided to work with TECA to create this because our College needed a strategic document to drive our diversity efforts for students and faculty/staff,” Dr. Prentice Chandler, dean of the Eriksson College of Education, said.
The purpose of this plan is to create a system of accountability for the college to ensure that diversity, equity and inclusion are a priority moving forward.
The plan will also help the college better support the climate, culture and experiences of its faculty, staff and students.
“The Tennessee Educators of Color Alliance (TECA) is excited to support Austin Peay State University’s College of Education as it engages in the process of developing and implementing a Strategic Diversity Plan to support equitable access and experiences for students and faculty,” Dr. Diarese George, executive director of TECA, said.
