(BIG LEAGUE POLITICS) – Ben Zeisloft of Campus Reform recently reported on University of California-San Diego’s decision to roll out a “White allyship” program “with an intentional focus on the work white people need to do.”
As a response to “the campus community’s desire to strengthen white allyship in particular”, the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion unveiled its “White Allyship, Action & Accountability Initiative.”
According to the program’s website, the program’s goal is “to holistically and comprehensively promote anti-racism by strengthening white ally engagement in efforts to mitigate bias and to deepen white ally involvement in educating on anti-racism.” The program is designed to “deepen white ally capacity to identify, engage, and actively promote anti-racism and a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus.”
