Slippery Rock University is enhancing a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through a new requirement for students.
Beginning in the fall of 2022, all undergraduate SRU students will be required to take a three credit course that meets a diversity curriculum designation through the Rock Integrated Studies Program.
SRU faculty members teaching the course must complete an eight week online training class offered by the university in order to integrate concepts such as self awareness, identity, structural privilege, and oppression into existing course content. Faculty that complete the training will receive $1,000 that can be used for professional development.
This initiative is believed to be the first of its kind in the PA State System of Higher Education. Classes with the diversity designation will be clearly indicated on course catalogs and the Rock Studies Guide.
