Abstract

The enduring lack of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in academia is arguably the biggest challenge facing universities. Progress has been slow and dependent on the efforts of marginalized faculty. We explain why this is a problem, offer potential solutions and ask those with intersecting privilege and power to be the drivers of change.
