Committee Charge: The Anti-Racism, Anti-Colonialism, and Social Justice Committee intentionally centers
anti-racism and anti-colonialism in undertaking its duties and will view all issues
in its scope through an intersectional lens. The Anti-Racism, Anti-Colonialism, and
Social Justice Committee shall: 1) identify and address any issues related to discrimination,
social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion for all students and Faculty and
shall formulate, review, and recommend policies in these areas; 2) review CSU policy
and reports dealing with these issues; 3) serve as a resource and point of expertise
for administration, Faculty, staff, and students regarding these issues and shall
promote collaboration amongst these groups in order to support and expand efforts
in these areas; and 4) identify and recommend systematic and structural changes to
the academic governance process to encourage participation by historically excluded
groups, including but not limited to consulting, advising, and collaborating with
other Academic Senate committees as necessary or appropriate on matters pertaining
to these issues.
The Anti-Racism, Anti-Colonialism, and Social Justice Committee will strive to operate
in a way that aligns with the values that are reflected in the Committee’s duties. To this end, the Committee will periodically hold open meetings to solicit the concerns and expertise
of various campus groups, in particular those that have been historically excluded. The group will also regularly send out updates and communiques to these groups in
addition to its regular business meeting minutes.
