Education and Resources

There are many education and awareness programs on a variety of equity and inclusion-related topics available at UC Berkeley as well as through UCOP. These include resources like the Multicultural Education Program (MEP) workshops, the UCOP implicit bias series, LinkedIn Learning classes, and more.

Anyone in our One IT community can feel free to utilize these resources. During the summer of 2018, we delivered a customized MEP program for everyone in Berkeley IT, and have since made the program of three courses a requirement for all Berkeley IT staff to attend.

We have and will continue to offer periodic training and workshops on things like implicit bias, microaggressions, and other awareness activities. Training will be required for all Berkeley IT people managers, and strongly recommended for all Berkeley IT staff.

Resources

We strongly believe in the campus Principles of Community. We would like these to be reflected in how we approach our work together so every member of the UC Berkeley community has a role in sustaining a safe, caring, and humane environment in which these values can thrive. If you experience or learn of behavior that is contrary to these values, we want you to know about available rights, options, and resources:
