IDBEA Resources
Initiatives at NYU Wagner
We offer numerous opportunities for the NYU Wagner community to engage in and support IDBEA initiatives.
Who To Go To For What
The New York University Bias Response Line provides a mechanism through which members of our community can share or report experiences and concerns of bias, discrimination, or harassing behavior that may occur within our community.
If you are unsure whether to use the Bias Response Line, local Wagner staff can assist in managing your IDBEA-related concerns:
- For staff concerns - Khadija Temple, Director of HR
- For student concerns - David Schachter, Associate Dean, Student Affairs
- For faculty concerns - Rajeev Dehejia, Associate Dean, Academic Affairs and Professor
Student Groups
Student-run and responsive to the needs and interests of their members, student groups provide a chance to collaborate around a shared goal, whether it's to address issues of identity and diversity in the public service community, dive deep into a policy issue, or network with professionals in the field they're exploring. Groups facilitate panel discussions, seminars, academic talks, community outreach projects, and a range of other activities that enrich the NYU Wagner experience.
Faculty Diversity Committee
This standing committee of the Wagner faculty is designated to lead, organize, and encourage discussion among faculty around IDBEA-related curricula and co-curricular activities.
Initiatives at NYU
In New York and on its campuses and locations throughout the world, NYU is committed to:
-
Fostering intellectual inquiry, research, and artistic practices that respectfully and rigorously take account of a wide range of opinions, perspectives, and experiences.
-
Promoting an inclusive community in which diversity is valued and every member feels they have a rightful place, is welcome and respected, and is supported in their endeavors.
-
Developing and supporting programs and policies that measurably improve NYU's record of attracting and retaining students, as well as hiring and promoting faculty, administrators, and staff from historically underrepresented communities.
-
Building structures that promote inclusiveness and equity for all members of the NYU community, especially our colleagues from marginalized groups.
The Office of Global Inclusion
The Office of Global Inclusion (OGI) provides expert consultation, resources, and innovative strategies to help guide the university toward a more inclusive future. In addition to centers and communities, OGI is part of a broad spectrum of programs and services that span across the following partners at the university level, with additional resources housed within NYU schools, including:
- Admissions and Opportunity Programs
- Center for Student Life
- Global Inclusion Officers
- Disabilities, Inclusion, and Accessibility Working Group
- Office of Equal Opportunity
- Provostial Centers and Institutes
Anti-Racism Education, Programs, and Resources
Anti-racism work requires sustained, proactive education and engagement as well as systemic, intentional efforts at micro- and macro-levels. Anti-racism work also requires individuals to take responsibility for their own learning and avoid placing the responsibility for that education on already marginalized and disenfranchised groups, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Find more information about selected programs, education, and resources focused on anti-racism that are available to the NYU community.
