Rubric for Evaluating Diversity Statements

The rubric below was designed by the University of California system to support efforts to assess diversity statements in a faculty search process. Faculty search committees increasingly have asked for diversity statements (or teaching statements that specifically solicit DEI information) indicating where a faculty candidate could further the campus or departmental DEI goals, including improving classroom pedagogies or climate, advising, or other departmental DEI needs.
