"AAC&U has provided national leadership on the issue of diversity in higher education since 1971. AAC&U’s current work in this area focuses primarily on deploying diversity as an educational asset for all students, and preparing future graduates for socially responsible engagement in a diverse democracy and interdependent world. Both are key elements of quality liberal education. AAC&U has created a community of institutions committed to making diversity an integral part of educational excellence and civic engagement."

AAC&U also maintains Diversity Web, "an interactive resource hub for higher education." Lots of good stuff here too.

"The SJRC offers a searchable database to provide print, media, and web-based resources relevant to developing "diversity-inclusive" curricula and pedagogy for use by students, faculty, and educators. By "diversity-inclusive" we intend a commitment to developing anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-homophobic curricula and pedagogies appropriate to K-12 teaching, as well as for higher education."
