The University of Nevada-Reno's College of Education and Human Development created a DEI site, which includes the following: "Being antiracist is fighting against racism.

University of Nevada, Reno has designated multiple identity based campus dormitories including the Black Scholars Living Learning Community that “connects all students and provides a supportive environment to collectively explore Black Identity, cultures and communities.

On August 17, 2021, the Dean of the College of Education published an article titled "Are we trying to erase pluralism with Critical Race Theory cancel culture?" which reads in part as follows: "What is often misunderstood, confused, or misinterpreted is that critical race theory is inclusivity or inclusive education – it is not. CRT calls for us to challenge oppressive barriers that cause bias and at times create the racist systems that exist; inclusivity is the valuing of diversity and the contributions of diverse groups throughout our country’s history and our personal lives."

The College of Liberal Arts has compiled a list of anti-racist, anti-bias, and anti-hate resources (including CRT) and states, "By creating and building on this list, we hope many will join the College of Liberal Arts in its efforts to dismantle racism and other forms of hate and bias."

On November 19, 2020, the College of Education hosted an event titled "Teachers of Color Resisting Racism and Reimagining Schools" which used "the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to explore the experiences of teachers of Color in a predominantly white profession."

One of the 2023 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Action Plan goals of the UNR Library was to "Expand collections to include materials covering racial theory and environmental equity in America."

UNR published its 2021-2022 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Action Plan which outlines its many initiatives taking place throughout the college.
