<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:verdana,geneva"> Dear Colleagues and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Allies, <br><br>The Office of Faculty Diversity and Inclusion is accepting applications for a position with the Provost’s Professors of Equity in Education. Professors of Equity support the implementation of initiatives from the Office of Faculty Diversity and Inclusion. Professors provide ongoing professional development for faculty and staff on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In their role, Professors provide intensive, ongoing professional learning opportunities for SDSU faculty on diversity, equity, and inclusion related topics. Some examples of professional development provided include unconscious and implicit bias, identity-based micro-aggressions, best teaching practices for underserved students, socio-cultural competence, and becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution. A wide range of disciplinary diversity will be prioritized among these Professors. <br><br>The Provost’s Professors of Equity in Education receive three-units per semester for the 2019-20 academic year. The commitment for this position is one year, with the possibility for renewal based on resources. Provost professors report to the Provost Chair of Faculty Diversity and Inclusion. This initiative is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and was reviewed and approved by the Senate committee on Diversity, Equity, and Outreach. <br> <br><strong> Timeline: </strong></span></p>

With support from the Provost’s Professors of Equity in Education, this program provides intensive, ongoing professional learning opportunities for SDSU faculty on diversity-related topics. The program is designed to ensure that all faculty are aware of SDSU’s diversity and inclusion goals and are provided with capacity-building activities that can better prepare all personnel to support these efforts. These sessions will occur during unit meetings, retreats, or at meetings that are mutually agreed upon. Some examples of professional development opportunities will include unconscious and implicit bias, racial/gender micro-aggressions, teaching practices for underserved students, and cultural competence, and becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution. <br> <br> <strong>Diversity Strategic Planning</strong> <br> <br> On February 2018, the SDSU University Senate passed a resolution to create a campus- wide diversity plan. The resolution also requires that individual diversity plans be developed for all academic and administrative units/divisions in a manner that is congruent with the university’s diversity plan. To support the implementation of this effort, the Provost Chair of Faculty Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with the support of Provost’s Professors of Equity in Education will provide hands-on professional development and guidance for departments on the following: <br></span></p>

To support this process, the Provost Chair of Faculty Diversity and Inclusion with the Provost’s Professors of Equity in Education will develop and present professional development modules tailored specifically to the SDSU community on implicit bias and micro-aggressions in the hiring process.
