Join the conversation and learn more about Chris Moody and ACPA’s transformative diversity work.

KEY POINTS:

  • Who is the ACPA?
  • Focusing on the staff experience within a university setting
  • The strategic imperative for racial justice and decolonization
  • Providing members safe spaces to heal and come together, both virtually and physically
  • Intent does not equal impact
  • Awareness and accountability
  • Does systemic oppression still exist in higher education?

QUOTABLES:

“In the work of higher education, we're supporting student success. You don't talk about supporting staff success a lot. And I think between students and faculty and staff, administrators and professionals sort of get left behind in the conversation.”

“The world doesn't need white saviors. Right? Higher Education does not need white people to save the work. What needs to happen, in my opinion, is amplifying the hard work and the labor that's already happened, that's been happening within professionals and communities of color.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
