DOIT Certification Program

FNU Named One of Twelve Qualifying Institutions for the DOIT Certification Program

FNU was identified as one of the first 12 qualifying institutions for the Diverse Organizational Impact and Transformation (DOIT) certification program. The announcement was made on October 5 by CoopLew and Diverse: Issues In Higher Education after reviewing the results of the first pillar survey on senior representational diversity.

DOIT is a research mechanism that certifies an institution’s progress on diversity and inclusion. The certification process utilizes four Institutional Pillars for Transformation (IPTs) and a Pillar Indicator Map (PIM) as a framework to identify institutional components that speak to intentionality, frequency, and policy associated with behaviors and expectations for executing transformation within core executive-level activities for recruitment, retention, reward, promotion, and pipeline.

The certification process uses two frameworks to measure institutional transformation: the four Institutional Pillars for Transformation (IPTs) and a Pillar Indicator Map (PIM). Together, IPT and PIM identify how an institution’s intentionality, frequency, and policy is impacting core executivelevel activities such as recruitment, retention, reward, promotion, and pipeline.

The four pillars are:

RD – Representational Diversity

ILC – Institutional Leadership & Commitment

CCT – Curricular & Co-Curricular Transformation

CC – Campus Climate

FNU and the 11 other institutions will be recognized in the November 12 edition of Diverse: Issues in Higher Education.
