Eckerd College is a private four-year, residential undergraduate liberal arts college located in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Although Eckerd has significant gender diversity in its student body, with 68.5 percent of students identifying as female, it is a predominantly white institution (PWI), with 72.7 percent of our student body identifying as white or non-Hispanic (Eckerd College 2020). While inclusive leadership may be the new normal at many institutions, advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives at a PWI presents unique challenges. Research has shown that African American faculty at PWIs report experiences of racial fatigue from disproportionate workload burdens and feelings of being undervalued (Harley 2008). Further, African American students face challenges at PWIs related to racial and campus climates, a lack of diversity among faculty and staff, and feelings of unbelonging that can impact academic performance and well-being (e.g., Hunn 2014; Love 2008). This article will discuss how administrative support of faculty-led DEIB initiatives demonstrates inclusive leadership and helps build an inclusive climate on campus as we try to address the strain on faculty, students, and staff of color to create a stronger sense of belonging within our college community. An important step in facilitating these initiatives is first creating a climate wherein such initiatives can develop and grow. As a baseline, develop foundational language to speak about DEIB (Harvard University 2022). Also consider the interrelated concepts of culture and climate. Culture refers to organizational values, beliefs, and assumptions that provide identity and set behavioral standards—how we do things around here. Climate refers to shared perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors—how we feel about how things are done (Stolp and Smith 1995). When we think about sharing the reins or responsibility for DEIB work, our institutional climate matters. You must understand how your institutional climate positively or negatively affects your DEIB initiatives and the role that faculty play in their development. The American Academy of Medical Colleges (AAMC) provides a useful framework for assessing institutional culture and climate (AAMC 2022). The Diversity 3.0 Framework identifies three key factors that influence your DEIB climate: institutional and social context, structures and policies, and human capital. Each of these factors can be thought of as a set of nested or interrelated systems (see figure 1). Human capital factors are nested in or influenced by the structures and policies of your institution. The structures and policies of your institution are nested in and therefore influenced by the broader institutional and social context. Diversity 3.0 Framework The institutional and social context are reflected in the history, geography, political/legal environment, and local community (AAMC 2022). First, it is helpful to understand the history of your institution as it relates to diversity. Has your institution historically been on the forefront of progress, or has there been a lag? This history is often reflected in the demographic composition of your students, faculty, and staff. Next, it is useful to examine the demographic composition of the area surrounding your campus and whether your institution reflects those demographics. To better understand your institutional and social context, you must review the government programs or initiatives that may support diversity and inclusion at your institution and examine your institution's relationship with diverse stakeholders. Investigate how this institutional context is reflected in what is included or excluded in the curriculum. The structures and policies category captures to what extent DEIB work is integrated, reinforced, and supported by your institution. This college- or university-level commitment to DEIB work can be reflected in whether DEIB is specifically mentioned in the strategic plan and future vision for the institution and whether there is financial support for DEIB initiatives. Do human resources policies reflect current best practices for hiring and supporting DEIB progress? It is important that your organization set goals related to DEIB progress and that you identify metrics to capture your progress on those goals. Your leadership structure, composition, and culture should also reflect your commitment to DEIB work (AAMC 2022). These structures and policies can either serve to facilitate or hinder an inclusive climate on your campus. Human capital refers to the extent that the full benefits of diversity are reinforced by your institution's culture of inclusiveness. Your culture of inclusiveness should be reflected at all levels of the institution and across stakeholders (i.e., administrators, faculty, students) in terms of hiring, training, promotion, admissions, curriculum, research, community engagement, and mentorship (AAMC 2022). It is important that leadership be held accountable and that the experiences of your stakeholders are valued and incorporated into decision-making. Finally, the service role of those moving DEIB initiatives forward should be recognized and valued by the institution. Taken together, these six initiatives have directly involved over half of our faculty, and the rest are largely supportive. Importantly, each initiative was started and further developed by faculty but with support from administration. At no point was participation in any of these groups expected or demanded by administration. Faculty-led initiatives can help with buy-in by creating a shared accountability model. Similarly, given that it was faculty working together, the conversations took place in a spirit of inquiry and not of assessment. These programs also enabled faculty to reclaim their time to think about issues related to their lives as faculty. Finally, these types of grassroots or bottom-up programing can lead to systematic change or to the changing of campus climates. Thus, even if your institutional climate creates challenges, these grassroots initiatives from faculty can change said climate.
