Seton Hall University

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee offers training in the form of “an interactive workshop on anti-racism and exploring race, bias, and identity.” This training was offered throughout spring of 2023.

The Center for Faculty Development at SHU "continues to host an ongoing DEI Film Series, a DEI reading group, and a funded special seminar on anti-racist pedagogy, as well as occasional talks and community book discussions."

It was announced that, “the Faculty Senate approved the edited Course Evaluation instrument that will be adopted in Fall 2022 with additional questions to gauge the inclusivity of the class experience and the diversity of the curricula, as appropriate to the discipline, among other revisions.”

SHU will now impose an A&S Diversity Requirement where all students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to complete a diversity course.

As part of its DEI Initiatives, SHU States, "Every College/School has an active DEIJ subcommittee tasked with ensuring that its core curriculum addresses DEIJ subject matter, teaches inclusively, and develops inclusive extracurricular initiatives that advance equity."

SHU stated that, “in 2021, the University implemented the Bias Education Support Team (BEST), which provides support-related resources to campus community members who have experienced, witnessed, and/or are aware of a bias incident.”

It was stated that, “all Faculty serving on faculty and administrative search committees are required to attend a diversity training facilitated by Human Resources and the Office of EEO Compliance & Title IX.”

Seton Hall University has a “Faculty Seminar on Challenging Racism and Teaching for Inclusivity” where faculty will “engage in (potentially uncomfortable) self-interrogation of one’s biases and assumptions with respect to race and inclusion.” There is a $500 incentive for “the successful completion of the seminar, including submission of a completed course syllabus and plan for carrying forward the work of the seminar.”

Seton Hall University’s library has a vast list of resources for anti-racist education on its website.

In November of 2020, Seton Hall University held an event for “How to Raise Antiracist Kids: An Interactive Presentation.”

On July 1, 2020, the school held an event for “Faith and Racial Injustice.”

SHU's 2021-2023 Strategic Plan states that it "educates and empowers all its members to advance equity, inclusion and social justice on campus and in the wider world."
