Committees

A page within Access, Belonging & Student Engagement

UWL committees offer many ways to contribute your skills and expertise to shape campus as a place where all students, faculty, and staff have the opportunity to thrive. This page lists the committees that support the work of the Division of Access, Belonging & Student Engagement.

Campus-wide Committees

  • Bias Support & Education Team (BS&ET)
    The BSET exists to address forms of bias through consistent campus climate assessment, proactive education, and comprehensive support to individuals impacted by bias. We envision an atmosphere of civility and respect that prevails in all forms of expression and interaction in order to develop a community of belonging.
  • Indigenous Actions Collective 
    The Indigenous Actions Collective is a working group focused on identifying campus-wide initiatives aimed at supporting and retaining Native students. The group also provides opportunities for the broader campus community to engage with and learn about Indigenous cultures and issues. Additionally, the Collective collaborates closely with local tribal members on various projects. Interested in getting involved: email belonging@uwlax.edu 
  • Individuals With Disabilities Advocacy Council (IDAC)
    Assesses disability needs, designs and promotes the implementation of accommodation procedures and policies and other disability related functions on campus, and promotes awareness of disability related concerns.
  • Joint Committee on Civil Discourse (JCCD)
    Created by the Chancellor in 2019, The JCCD is charged with creating an event (or events) to help our campus celebrate national Free Speech Week each year during the third full week of October.
