Inclusive Excellence Plan Implementation Visual

Overview

This implementation visualization and dashboard allows Harvard Chan community members to see where progress is being made with respect to our three priority areas and action items identified in our strategic implementation plan for the Foundations for Sustainable Progress and Transformation: An Inclusive Excellence Strategic Plan for Harvard Chan School. Since 2022 however, new university priorities have emerged, which have also shifted our School level priorities and timelines for multiple items. These new endeavors include implementation of the Non-Discrimination and Anti-Bullying Policies and Procedures, the Legacy of Slavery Projects, and revisions to programs and protocols stemming from US Supreme Court decision on admissions practices.

For the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) to ensure progress with the implementation of identified objectives and action steps, it will be important to take an active role in monitoring and partnering with individuals, offices, and committees essential to implementing and executing action items identified in the strategic plan.

Our commitment is to be transparent regarding areas where progress is made as well as any areas where we may need to re-evaluate, re-think, and make adjustments as we learn and gather insights regarding our work to advance EDIB goals within the school. As needed, action items will be added and/or amended, and timelines will be updated.
