Diversity in Leadership
UCSF is working to achieve demographic diversity in leadership by utilizing a multi-tiered approach. Initiatives include expanding the staff equity recruitment model to increase understanding and accountability for hiring diverse teams; building leadership development programs for faculty and staff to open leadership paths for under-represented groups; and reviewing high-profile leadership development opportunities to ensure intentionality around creating diverse and inclusive programs.
Core Areas of Work
Advancing Excellence in Faculty Recruitment & Leadership
The program supports the goal of diversifying our faculty demographic by recruiting and retaining diverse scholars, especially those who have been systematically and historically underrepresented, and prioritizing diversity and inclusion when hiring new faculty members. Led by Associate Vice Provost of Faculty Equity Elizabeth Ozer, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics, the program is realized through funding from the Leadership Equity Advances Diversity (LEAD) Grant and with our Faculty Equity Advisors' efforts.
Advancing Excellence in Staff Recruitment (AESR)
The Advancing Excellence in Staff Recruitment program, which is supported by a partnership between the Office of Diversity & Outreach and Human Resources, focuses on the implementation of a UCSF-wide process improvement to promote recruitment best practices and standard work in our staff hiring and promotions. This includes standardized hiring for senior staff and leadership positions (Manager 2 and above), data-driven best practices, and training and consultations as part of the recruitment process.
