Resources include financial, pedagogical, educational, local, national, organizational, and human resources. With the support of the Resource Team, the focus here is directed towards both providing and acquiring the means necessary to effectively promote diversity and inclusion both on and beyond campus.
Research includes both accountability and assessment. We need clarity – as in visible, accessible, usable, and useful information – about diversity and inclusion both on campus and beyond it. Key questions we seek to answer with the assistance of CID's Research Team include: What exactly is meant by our uses of the terms diversity and inclusion? Is diversity a critical component of an educational environment, and why? How is diversity best included? Addressing these questions must involve us in considering scholarly work, lived experience, and critical reflection.

Diversity of Human Experience Courses
"D" courses are courses which have a diversity component and focus on the variety of experiences and contributions of individuals and social groups in the United States, especially of those traditionally denied rights and privleges.
These courses are designated with a "D" in the course number. Students take at least one 3 unit "D" course during their time at USD and examine diversity further in the course "Composition and Literature" and in the study of a second language, all of which are part of the core curriculum.
