Racial and Social Equality

The chief academic diversity and inclusion officers of the Southeastern Conference met recently at the SEC Office in Birmingham.

The SEC established the SEC Council on Racial Equity and Social Justice in response to the unrest and demonstrations in cities and communities in the summer of 2020.

The University of Florida and the International Mentoring Association (IMA) will offer a certificate in multicultural mentoring for current and former fellows and liaisons of the SEC Academic Leadership Development Program during the fall semester.

The creation of a new conference bylaw was recently approved by the Conference's Presidents and Chancellors that will aim in attracting and hiring individuals in historically underrepresented groups in the leadership of their athletics departments.
