DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION
Office of Equity & Inclusion | 2nd Floor, Tate Hall 15 | equityandinclusion@wesleyancollege.edu The Office of Equity & Inclusion ensures that Wesleyan College remains committed to equality in educational opportunities and abides by federal and state laws including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which was updated in 2020, and Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for students and employees. Wesleyan does not discriminate in offering access to its educational programs and activities on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, or other human identifier or characteristic. This office also administers the policy on discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct and directs the investigation of complaints concerning these matters. Prohibited conduct includes any form of harassment, discrimination, sexual assault,
sexual harassment and related misconduct, including interpersonal (relationship) violence, stalking, and any form of retaliation. You can learn more about how our community supports this commitment by searching for “Compliance” on the Wesleyan College website. If you or another campus community member experiences discrimination or sexual misconduct, seek assistance, guidance and support by contacting Tonya Parker, Chief Diversity Officer and Dean for Equity and Inclusion, at tparker@wesleyancollege.edu or 478-7574028. Additionally, the Office of Equity & Inclusion is committed to supporting students through engagement, cultural awareness, diversity dialogues, workshops, and inclusion trainings. We work to create a more inclusive and culturally aware environment for all campus community members.
LANE CENTER FOR SOCIAL AND RACIAL EQUITY The Equity Center| equitycenter@wesleyancollege.edu The Lane Center for Social and Racial Equity is an extension of Wesleyan’s DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) work on campus into the Middle Georgia area through connections with community members and organizations. It operates under the leadership of Dean Tonya Parker, Center Director, and Dr. Brandi Simpson Miller, Assistant Center Director. Opportunities for students and other community members to get involved with the work of the Equity Center will be offered through the College and our community partner, the Tubman Museum. The Mission of the Center is to: • Promote diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice (DEIJ) in all areas of the College. • Make transparent, and hold ourselves and each other accountable for, our commitment to creating an anti-racist campus community. • Provide DEIJ training for Wesleyan students, faculty, staff and others in the Middle Georgia community using the IF/DID model (Interactivity Foundation/Diversity and Inclusion Discussions).
