The Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE) seeks a Director of Equity and Inclusion to serve as a strategist and leader on issues of equity and inclusion, focusing on our work with students. As a division, VPUE hosts units and programs that work with all 7000 undergraduates (and many graduate students) at Stanford University, and has approximately 275 administrative and teaching staff across 7 units, on campus and globally. The 7 units are Academic Advising, Bing Overseas Study Program (BOSP), Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), Haas Center for Public Service (Haas), Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR), Stanford Introductory Studies (SIS), and the Vice Provost’s Office (VPO) (list of units and programs).
VPUE envisions this newly established position as an internal equity and inclusion consultant to the units and programs within VPUE. The principles of equity and inclusion--that all Stanford students should be able to succeed and thrive regardless of background or income, and that programs should promote belonging--are already embraced by VPUE staff broadly. The Director of E&I would collaborate with program staff and assist units in ensuring that program policies, processes, and practices match VPUE principles, to improve student experiences within our programs. The Director will work closely with VPUE faculty directors and program staff to help educational and student-facing programs assess areas that would benefit from concrete changes to improve equity and inclusion for students and provide guidance in implementing that process. While the Director will not interact primarily with students, the Director will need a deep understanding of the undergraduate student experience and sensitivity to student needs and concerns, in order to integrate such knowledge into VPUE practices and policies. In addition, the Director will serve as the Vice Provost’s delegate to the university-wide IDEAL initiative, and will collaborate with directors of DEI and those in similar roles, in order to align VPUE’s work with that of the university.
This position reports jointly to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and to the Senior Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. There will be modest shared administrative support from the Vice Provost’s Office. In addition to liaisons in each unit of VPUE, this role would work closely with the VPUE Assessment and Program Evaluation Team on questions of program improvement. The Director of E&I would find a counterpart in the Director of Human Resources who handles DEI education and workshops for VPUE staff.
