Distributed Leadership
At Richmond, we are advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) through a collaborative, shared leadership approach we refer to as distributed leadership. Put simply, responsibility for attending to DEIB work at UR does not fall to a single person. It takes all of us, working together intentionally and urgently.
Recent Progress Toward Goals
Representation
UR will meet the full demonstrated financial need of students with grant aid, not loans, if they enter UR directly from Richmond Public Schools, CODE RVA Regional High School, and the Maggie Walker School. Learn more.
Belonging
In responses to student interest, the University of Richmond faculty voted to create a new Africana Studies Program. Africana Studies is an academic concentration that critically examines the African diaspora from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Capability
