Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration lists priorities including hiring “BIPoC Faculty” and training students about “microaggressions” on its website as the Trump administration warns universities about diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
A conservative professor at the public institution recently criticized these priorities, saying, “At Arizona State University, even the stars are woke.”
Through the school’s “Inclusive Community Mission” and “Inclusive Community Committee,” faculty, staff, and students work to “[empower] an inclusive School of Earth and Space Exploration by facilitating and promoting individual action, dialog, education, long-term planning and systemic change,” according to its website.
The earth and space exploration school also has a strategic plan and a list of recommendations to “guide efforts to create a more inclusive environment” at the public university.
