⭐ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Athletics
What NC does
As part of North Central College’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, the Athletics Department is taking a number of action steps, which are the beginning of changes that will occur within the department.
First of all, we have created an Athletics Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council, consisting of students, coaches, staff, alumni, and faculty that will help provide guidance and perspective along with establishing goals and benchmarks to mark our collective progress.
The ADEI Council will plan and host forums on racism in society and athletics to provide a deeper understanding of Black history and experiences in our culture, and to engage student athletes, coaches, and administrators in meaningful dialogue.
The Athletics Department is making a commitment to further diversifying its staff to include more Black coaches, assistant coaches and other athletics staff. In doing so, the department will seek guidance from the ADEI Council and the DEI Task Force to identify and change systemic barriers in recruitment and hiring practices, and the department will train its search committees on preventing implicit bias in the hiring process.
In addition, The Athletics Department—including student athletes, coaches, staff, and administrators—will participate in extensive anti-racism and allyship training.
The department has been engaging in a series of 21-Day Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Challenges, giving coaches and staff members the opportunity to learn and discuss issues in a small-group format.
