The UPP faculty met to discuss the Racial Justice Working Group’s progress to-date and provide feedback on the working group’s next steps as a faculty-only committee. Prof. Sigmund Shipp presented a summary of the recommendations from the November 20, 2020 town hall. He also shared information about the School of Education’s Equity and Advocacy Committee as a potential model. This was followed by a visit from Valeda Dent, Hunter College’s acting provost and vice president, Student Success and Learning Innovation. Dr. Dent provided an update on the college’s Presidential Task Force to Advance Racial Equity and how the task force’s work can support the UPP department’s work.
