Our Commitment
We are committed to making LSA an inclusive, equitable, and collaborative space to learn, teach, work, discover, and thrive together.

LSA is committed to the systemic change required to create true equity, inclusion, and belonging in the college and beyond.
Anti-Racism Report
In 2020, the college convened a task force charged with creating a clear statement of vision and goals for anti-racism in LSA that could help catalyze and institutionalize anti-racist policies and practices as central to the college’s mission.
Sexual Harassment Report
LSA launched a working group to develop actionable plans that address sexual harassment in the college. The group produced a report proposing changes to LSA policies and practices to prevent gender harassment and create a more inclusive and respectful environment.

The college convened a working group to improve climate in LSA from an LGBTQ+ perspective. This group produced an assessment based on lived experience in the college rather than scholarship and included recommendations intended to benefit the entire LSA community.
