Current Shift of EDI

Heather

• There is a shift happening with corporate EDI initiatives and in higher ed

• HV had heard in January from a colleague at the University of Utah that EDI language is being pulled off of their job descriptions

• Ted has been at a leadership conference, and their was an EDI session where some University declined to attend due to the climate on their campuses

• Companies are pulling away from BLM support and are focusing more on i.e./ food insecurity, veterans, women in leadership

• Wondering how this shift is going to impact us

• Alma: Why the shift? Is it because it’s an election year?

  • HV: Not a pushback from our Suppliers but their focus has shifted to different topics

  • Might be getting pushback from donors that have conservative views

• Alma: What’s the temperature in the UC?

• Maggie: The pushback has to do with seeing is as favoritism and seeing it as affirmative action issues. A feeling of over-support that does not sound fair

  • Universities are being put in the hot seat for these items

  • More pressure coming in

• HV: Another place that this came up was during a Rady supply chain class and the professor of the class does a lot of work with DC and he was talking about getting sued because of the diversity requirements they had in their solicitations

  • Being seen as unfair treatment to others

  • Question asked: How are you not getting in trouble for requiring those things

  • At the system wide level, their is no requirement for diversity but there is one for sustainability

• Maggie: VC Petitt’s thesis for her degree was about Janitors

  • Something great about the program was mostly geared for the students and not that much of a focus on Faculty/Staff

  • SJP agenda items was to stop relations with any companies that support Israel

• Kelli: This topic will definitely affect our initiatives, are there any recommendations on what we should do in the mean time:

  • HV: pretty confident on UCSD staying EDI focused

  • Have not heard any rumblings on UCSD pulling back any programs

  • Will companies not want to bid on UC partnerships based on our stance regarding EDI.

• UCSD crossed the threshold to be a HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) campus

EDI Hangout

Alma

• Lets hangout again!

• Will send out polly to see when we have some availability
