Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Helpful Tips related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in your faculty’s academic review file
- CAP notices and values DEI work
- CAP prefers discussion of DEI work as part of Research, Teaching, and Service and entered on AP-10
- CAP views DEI statements as a way to highlight significant contributions
- Describing your life experiences and beliefs is less persuasive
- List discrete, pro-active activities, e.g., explain what you have done to recruit/support URM students rather than listing names
- Prep Tip: Listing URM people you encounter in your daily work is not an impressive DEI claim.
Reporting Leaves
All paid and unpaid faculty leaves must be reported on a UCI-AP-76 form. Faculty taking a COVID-19 paid leave must specify which of the three leave types is being used (EPAL, EPSL, or EFML).
See the COVID-19 FAQ section on the AP website, question 10 for appropriate leave paperwork needed for each type of COVID-19 leave: https://ap.uci.edu/covid19/covid-19-academic-review-faqs/

We understand that COVID-19 is placing stresses on the system, and everyone, at the moment, and we are working closely with departments to help navigate these difficult times together. |
