In May 2021, Faculty Senate passed a motion creating a special Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion designation for courses in existing AOI categories or in academic programs within units. Students who enter Drake beginning in Fall 2022 will be required to take one course with this designation.

The University Curriculum Committee invites course proposals for courses to satisfy this new designation. The application is now available on the AOI/UCC resources webpage: drake.edu/dc/facultystaffresources/aoiuccresources/. UCC will begin reviewing applications in the spring semester. The committee meets every three weeks to review proposals.

Please contact Carrie Dunham-LaGree, chair of UCC, with any questions.
