�鶹��ý

After reviewing three dozen proposals, �鶹��ý has submitted proposals to the UC Office of the President on how it plans to use one-time funding set aside to address bias, bigotry and discrimination, including antisemitism, Islamophobia and more.

�鶹��ý will receive $700,000, and has already earmarked $135,000 for programs related to emergency mental health and trauma support. Officials sought proposals for ways to use the remaining $565,000, and received ideas ranging from panel discussions to trainings for managers and supervisors to public art installations.

The final proposals fall into one of three categories:

• Mental Health and Trauma Support “to provide emergency mental health and trauma support for students, faculty and staff.”
• Educational Programming “to develop educational initiatives focused on understanding and addressing bias and bigotry.”
• Training and Professional Development “to equip UC leaders, staff and faculty with essential knowledge and skills.”

The proposals were selected by a 12-person committee and approved by Chancellor Gary S. May before being submitted to the UC Office of the President.
