Incorporating "Intentional Integration"
The Diversity and Equity Requirement Proposal requires faculty substantially address core competencies and group representations.

To meet this requirement, D&E content must:

• Form a central organizing framework of the course rather than functioning as a discrete unit, module, or isolated topic.
• Appear across at least 75% of the term (as determined by the number of weeks in the schedule).
• Be explicitly aligned with the designated Knowledge, Disposition, and Skills criteria
