Project Abstract

DEIBlueprint addresses department climate by creating an easy-to-use process - a blueprint! - that sets departments up for success in assessing and addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB); in short, department climate. Departments are often on their own, trying to implement initiatives from campus-wide surveys, fashioning original department climate surveys, analyzing their data, and creating action steps in response. This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and potentially uninformed by campus expertise. Since launching the pilot in 2021, DEIBlueprint has reached a critical juncture and a new stage of project development. There is momentum and growing need for a scale-up intervention project – DEIBlueprint+ – that is two-fold: This project will (1) augment the current Climate Toolkit and Question Bank with new innovations; and (2) create sustainability and institutionalization by intentionally linking DEIBlueprint to existing or new structures at each campus while creating materials and bringing together campuses across the UC system to discuss implementation of DEIBlueprint.
