DACC GOALS
based on initial needs assessment, immediate goals appear to be:
1. Broaden perspective and awareness regarding how bias, privilege, diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural competency influence decisions that impact the entire college’s retention, recruitment, and development goals
2. Build skills, identify opportunities, strategies, resources, and processes that reduce bias and enhance efficacy of decisions, communications, and interactions (verbal, non-verbal, and written). For example, strategies for equitable meetings, fair candidate selection, unbiased evaluations and feedback, and avoiding decision fatigue such as with academic advising
3. Become familiar with different tools and techniques used to identify and measure bias
