Alfred State College

ASC's Strategic Plan aims to reach and recruit new audiences "tailored to BIPOC and under-represented groups."

The Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Title IX offers workshops and training with topics ranging from "safe zone training" to "privilege walk."

In October of 2020, the Alfred State athletic department worked with Shawn Newton from the Newton Consultancy Group to provide student-athletes with education on racism. Newton presented a program titled, "Racism: Breaking it Down and Breaking it Apart," which is designed to "enhance people's awareness of the phenomenon of racism and the methods and techniques to dismantle it."

The Cultural Life Center states it maintains a "commitment to addressing unethical systemic power imbalances present between institutions and people affected." The Center also provides "educational workshops/programs, professional training, advocacy, and outreach," to facilitate students’ "self-awareness, learning, and growth of different cultures, viewpoints, and experiences."

The Center for Equity provides "workshops and trainings" including those on "Social Justice," "Who Am I? Identity Exploration and Diversity," "Privilege Walk," and more.

As of the Fall 2023 semester, ASC's General Education requirement includes a "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice" component in order to fulfill the 30 credit hours of coursework.

ASC's College of Technology states that it would require faculty to "participate in diversity training each year."

The Center for Intercultural Unity at ASC "facilitates students' self-awareness, learning, and growth regarding different cultures, viewpoints, and experiences" and "support[s] and promote[s] under-represented student organizations, including, but not limited to LGBTQ+, students of color, women, veterans and military service, international students, and faith-based groups."

The Drago Family Endowed Fund provides scholarships to "academically talented incoming students" with priorities given to "minority students."

Alfred State offers a course, "Power, Privilege, & Difference," which "examines the social forces at work directing the distribution of power and privilege in American society. Using a sociological perspective, students learn about the multiple hierarchies defined by class, race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality and the consequences of one's location in them. Students will learn intersectionality theory and its application to the study of inequality; that 'difference' is socially constructed in systems of privilege to create 'otherness,' and, in turn, prejudice and discrimination."

Alfred State's Library offers research guides on systemic racism.

ASC's e Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Title IX provides a list of "anti-racist" resources which include: "A Kids Book About Racism," How To Be An Antiracist," and "Me and White Supremacy."

The College Library provides definitions and resources on "White Privilege," "Anti-Racism," "Whiteness," and "Intersectionality."

The College provides resources on "Inclusive Pedagogy."

The College has a Chief Diversity Officer and Policy Specialist.

The School displayed a Black Lives Matter mural after raising at least "$6,750" through a GoFundMe campaign that was "seeking $8,000 for the mural."
