Titled “Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion: An Action Plan for Brown University,” the plan created the Diversity and Inclusion Oversight Board, which submitted memorandums to University leadership regarding the implementation of the DIAP’s goals.“We are grateful for their efforts, and we recognize that the board’s experience and deep insights will be eminently valuable in establishing a future vision for diversity and inclusion at Brown,” Paxson wrote in the Thursday announcement.The board submitted its final memo in June, writing that Brown’s diversity and inclusion efforts have “allowed the University to generate evidence that merit and diversity are mutually constitutive.”
