The Council promotes diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice for all members and non-members of EEB, especially for historically marginalized, minoritized, or underrepresented folx such as those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color as well as LGBTQ+, persons with disabilities, and the intersections of multiple identities. The Council operates in an advisory capacity to make policy recommendations, and also takes direct actions to eliminate racism by 1) providing a structure for coordinating anti-racist actions; 2) representing the EEB community and ensuring accountability for ARDEI efforts; 3) communicating anti-racist priorities and progress; and 4) regularly assessing the effectiveness ARDEI practices.[/unidash_typo][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1634584949704{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1634601491653{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][unidash_button id=”c-custom-8921634584451″ text_color=”#ffffff” bg_color=”#94c83d” url=”https://sites.google.com/uci.edu/ardei/agenda-meeting-notes” link_target=”_blank” round_border=”10px” alignment=”center”]Meeting Schedule[/unidash_button][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1634601552662{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][unidash_button id=”c-custom-4821634584451″ text_color=”#ffffff” bg_color=”#94c83d” url=”https://sites.google.com/uci.edu/ardei/agenda-meeting-notes” round_border=”10px” alignment=”center”]Meeting Minutes[/unidash_button][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1634601564294{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][unidash_button id=”c-custom-4821634584451″ text_color=”#ffffff” bg_color=”#94c83d” url=”https://sites.google.com/uci.edu/ardei/resources” link_target=”_blank” round_border=”10px” alignment=”center”]Resources[/unidash_button][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1634601580077{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][unidash_button id=”c-custom-5021634584451″ text_color=”#ffffff” bg_color=”#94c83d” url=”https://sites.google.com/uci.edu/ardei/general-information” link_target=”_blank” round_border=”10px” alignment=”center”]Contact[/unidash_button][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][unidash_button id=”c-custom-6211634584451″ text_color=”#ffffff” bg_color=”#94c83d” url=”https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-NvKkljQ3mGb68bJaifr58Yk6P5hA-bM/view” link_target=”_blank” round_border=”10px” alignment=”center”]By Laws[/unidash_button][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”4536″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][unidash_typo html_tag=”h2″ border=”none” alignment=”center”]Get Involved[/unidash_typo][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”5″ el_width=”70″ accent_color=”#ffd200″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-users” color=”custom” background_style=”rounded” background_color=”custom” size=”xl” align=”center” custom_color=”#1b3d6d” custom_background_color=”#94c83d”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][unidash_typo id=”c-custom-5831634601061″ html_tag=”h4″ border=”none” mobile_alignment=”center”]Council Members[/unidash_typo][unidash_typo id=”c-custom-8641634584870″ border=”none” size=”20px” mobile_size=”16px”]The Council is composed of one or more members from each of the department’s constituencies: undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and at-large.
