It is the responsibility of an anchor institution like UMB to address structural oppression head-on and to act on issues of EDI from an anti-racism and anti-oppression perspective. In this spirit, we the President’s Fellows embarked on a journey of research and interviews to determine the state of EDI at UMB, and best practices that can be integrated on the student, faculty, and staff levels to demonstrate the institution's commitment to EDI-informed curriculum, and inclusive leadership. We acknowledge the work that has been done up to this point at UMB, and we provide strategies for UMB to implement for the future.
