Clark University

Starting summer 2020, all first year students, athletes, and student leaders are required to undergo anti-racism training.

Peer learning assistant training included diversity and inclusion training as of October 2020.

Clark University states that "every undergraduate is required to complete a course with a Diversity and Inclusion attribute."

One of Clark University's DEI initiatives is to implement anti-racist teaching as of June 2021.

The university is working to "hold events and workshops around decolonizing the curriculum and anti-racist pedagogy."

Clark University has ensured that "coaches and student-athletes have developed team-specific diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) contracts and calls to action."

The president allocated $1 million toward DEI initiatives in the school.

In 2017, Clark University established the D'Army Bailey Diversity Fund "to provide financial support for campus initiatives and academic endeavors that advance and help sustain an inclusive, engaged campus."

The university offers a Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program which "supports cultural competency and awareness-building for staff, faculty, and graduate students."

On June 13, 2016, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation gave Clark University a $620,000 grant for "introducing 'Problems of Practice' courses into all humanities majors" in order to "support the introduction of inclusive and innovative pedagogy through courses focused on problems of practice."

As of July 2021, Clark University is looking to "reduce the presence of armed officers in public and residential spaces on campus" and disarm campus police.

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning created an "Anti-Racist Pedagogy Repository" for faculty members.

As of September 2020, "the Faculty Steering Committee will prioritize issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion."

On March 18, 2019, Clark University brought in an expert on critical race theory for a guest lecture. Tara J. Yosso from UC Riverside was hosted due to the Gurel Endowment gift which funds the guest lecture.

Clark University has released many statements discussing the events surrounding George Floyd, including the statement made on May 30, 2020. The president and president elect stated, "We are horrified by the cruel and unjust killing of George Floyd, by the grave other recent incidents of violence against black men that it mirrors, and by the deeper issues in our society that it reflects." The leaders added that, "Our community must stand united against racism and injustice. We must not be silent."
