Diversity Institute Grants
Academic Year 2005-06

Purpose

In keeping with the institutional mission of promoting responsible and reflective action in a diverse and interconnected world, the university has provided funding for curriculum development initiatives around issues of gender, race/ethnicity, class, ability and sexuality. One such initiative is an Intensive Diversity Institute September 12-16, 2005 on the Eastern Oregon University campus. Competitive mini-grants will be awarded to ten faculty who meet eligibility requirements to participate in the Institute. These grants are directed toward two basic goals: 1) to improve the quality of student learning and development at Eastern Oregon University, and 2) to create a more inclusive scholarship, curriculum and pedagogy, where diversity is understood as essential to a well-rounded education.

We invite grant proposals that address race, class, gender, sexuality and ability from local, national and global perspectives. Faculty may submit proposals from a variety of areas, including (but not limited to) expanding the content of current curriculum, development of new course offerings, and development of faculty workshops.
