Project Team Description

The Workplace Culture & Equitable Opportunity Team aims to assess the current workplace climate of UCLA Library with an emphasis on structural and institutional racism and its impact on library staff. This project team will design targeted and specific action plans based on analyses of assessment data. The team will also share data relevant to other Anti-Racism Initiative project teams and goals, in order to foster a more just, equitable, and welcoming organizational environment.
