鈥淚t is not 鈥� and could never be 鈥� the sole responsibility of one person, one office or one initiative to solve these systemic and complex issues. It will take an ongoing and sustained effort from all of us.鈥� 鈥� President Ana Mari Cauce

Since the launch of the in 2015, we have taken action and made progress 鈥� efforts featured in a .

• Last autumn, we enrolled the 蘑菇视频鈥檚 most diverse class of first-year students ever.
• We launched a Diversity Blueprint that outlines 蘑菇视频 goals, actions and accountability measures.
• We鈥檙e holding ourselves accountable with new oversight boards for the 蘑菇视频 Police Department and a regents committee dedicated to progress on equity and inclusion.
• And we鈥檝e exceeded our goals around partnering with minority- and women-owned businesses to provide goods and services to the 蘑菇视频, reaching 39 percent of our annual procurement budget.

While it鈥檚 important to note progress 鈥� and especially the hard work of many of you across our three campuses 鈥� it鈥檚 equally important to avoid complacency. We have a long way to go, further than any one initiative or one leader can take us.
蘑菇视频 colleagues, like those featured in this report (/), are leading the way in areas from recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty to transforming the curriculum to address bias to creating new tools for accountability around equity.
The president, Race & Equity Initiative co-chairs Ed Taylor and Rickey Hall, and I hope you will join us in this work 鈥� recognizing the progress made in the last few years while keeping our eyes on the horizon, taking action and holding ourselves accountable to continue working toward a more equitable and just university community.
