Objectives
The SIUE Athletics Cougars as One DEI Action Plan will serve as a complement to the University’s Anti-Racism Task Force. This comprehensive resource provides a road map for all constituents on how SIUE Athletics will foster a diverse and inclusive environment. The goal of the Action Plan is to design a sustainable rather than fleeting, measurable guide to hold ourselves accountable and adaptable to ever-changing needs and issues.
