Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Duke's commitment to uphold the values of Diversity and Inclusion aligns closely with our mission for assessment. We encourage campus partners to consider these principles as they formulate methods for better understanding and improving the student experience. The following links point to sites illustrating best and promising practices in inclusive and equitable assessment.
