In March 2008, a narrative describing the Gallaudet Diversity Action Plan was posted online with other action plans as part of the Gallaudet Strategic Plan
On January 31, 2008 Gallaudet University hosted a town hall to kick off the "Living Team Gallaudet" plan for building a community of respect for all people and ideas.
The Gallaudet Diversity Action Plan has three main components.
Component 1: Seven-Point Diversity Agenda
Component 2: Community Process **Facilitator Questionnaire**
Component 3: Gallaudet Diversity Team
The goals and outcomes of the Gallaudet Diversity Action Plan are:
- A community that understands and embraces the need for change and the behaviors that reflect respect for all people and ideas.
- Structures within the university that ensure sustainable, transparent, inclusive participation, equity, and diversity as shared community responsibilities.
- A better understanding of the issues and climate at Gallaudet resulting in a community-owned sustainable plan to address these issues.
- A community engaged in a continuing dialogue on important issues.
The outcomes for the Gallaudet Diversity Action Plan will be measurable and evidence-based.
