Transparent communication is key to building community trust and holding leaders accountable for University actions related to anti-racism. This dashboard has been created to track actions in progress, as they relate to the goals and primary activities of the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Quality Initiative (QI) and identify those that have been completed.
The dashboard allows users to hover over some primary activities and view a brief description where needed. It also offers the latest status details related to each activity.
A color-coded bar offers visual verification of the progress point for each activity.
The university will implement the following primary activities to achieve the goals of the QI (filter using the drop-down below)
