Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Responding to community-wide criticism, GA’s Board of Trustees committed to:

1. Hire an outside consultant to evaluate current diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. 
2. Reassess curriculum in all disciplines so that diversity and justice are central to a GA education.
3. Provide and sustain anti-racist training for faculty across all divisions, amongst the broader GA community, and for the Board of Trustees.
4. Increase representation of people of color at GA, specifically Black students and faculty. Improve supports, including financial resources, to foster their success.
5. Continue to amplify Black voices across campus, by building on changes like the creation of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Board as one of the major pillars of GA’s student government.
6. Provide financial support for not-for-profit organizations whose mission is aligned with our own diversity efforts and values.
7. Hold ourselves accountable with yearly audits to measure our progress.
8. A one year Trustee and Administration study and execution plan done in conjunction with the authors of the letters to make sure we thoughtfully and correctly implement the changes suggested in the letter as well as any additional changes that will make Greenwich Academy a more equitable, inclusive, and celebratory community. 
9. The addition of two Black-identifying at-large members of the Board of Trustees to address our ongoing goal to better represent the voices of the GA community.
10. Systems to ensure transparency and accountability.
