While we don't know what the next couple of weeks will bring, soon we will be back in the classroom and the racist structures which allowed everything to happen will still be in place and we, as professors, need to be able to talk about it. A thread of resources:
Please note that I am certainly missing resources. Please let me know and I can add them onto this thread.

Overall, we have some amazing resources but there is still more work to be done. I have added social equity into my Intro to PA class ( https://www.sethjmeyer.com/teaching/ for syllabus), but we should have it in everything, including leadership, budgeting, etc.
Lastly, @NASPAA_DEI Diversity Equity Inclusion Task Force Report is open for comments.

Provide feedback and get involved! https://www.naspaa.org/diversity-equity-inclusion-task-force-report
