ACCP is dedicated to creating and sustaining a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). A commitment to embrace diversity and inclusion is an ACCP core value. Strategic direction 1.5 of the 2020 ACCP Strategic Plan states that the College will employ practices that embrace DEI to fully achieve its mission.
Beginning in 2020, the ACCP Board of Regents (BOR) has had ongoing complex and in-depth conversations about equity, respect, diversity, and inclusion. In January 2021 the BOR engaged a consulting firm, Ameli Global Partnerships (AGP), and participated with ACCP staff in professional development activities focused on DEI principles and best practices. In collaboration with AGP, ACCP’s Strategic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan was developed. This is a working plan that will include ongoing member engagement, monitoring, and revision.
