New EDI Help Menu
The department’s Staff EDI Committee is happy to announce the launch of an EDI Help Menu. The goal of this new tool is to ensure that department members are better informed and equipped to access resources and report bias incidents when they occur. The committee gathered information on reporting mechanisms and EDI-related support resources — this included the level of confidentiality available, which group(s) can access it, and what the process might look like.
Now on a centralized webpage with user-friendly filtering tools, this repository provides a brief description of each resource as well as detailed information about accessing the resource or filing a report. Explore the EDI Help Menu.
