Action Plan
The college’s Equity and Inclusion Action Plan is a document which outlines how we will achieve the goals set forth in the Strategic Plan and how we will make more central our Core Value of Inclusion, to find strength in diversity.
This Plan is the result of a year-long study into organizational models, high-impact practices for learning and persistence, and student-reported data, resulting in 27 steps organized into eight categories.
The Plan presents the items we intend to complete or begin over a three-year period, and represents a commitment to change in the ways we think, teach, and operate the college. To maintain a defined scope, the Plan does not include all efforts underway or in development at the college.

MIAD is committed to completing a campus climate survey every two years. Data from the 2018 and 2020 assessments will be shared here in early fall 2020.
