IUPUI strives to be inclusive in all we do. It’s part of our strategic plan to develop our faculty to “assure high-quality processes for performance management and promotion and tenure.” (Strategic Plan Priority 3, Goal 10)

With this goal in mind and to continue to promote a welcoming and inclusive campus environment, the Office of Academic Affairs worked with deans and campus leaders as well as tenure-track faculty to enact a modification of promotion, tenure, and merit review to recognize and reward faculty efforts to increase diversity and inclusion on campus.

At the May 4, 2021, IUPUI Faculty Council meeting, members voted to approve the modification allowing the addition of an integrative diversity, equity, and inclusion case to the campus Promotion and Tenure Guidelines.
