Inclusive Excellence
What is Inclusive Excellence?
 Inclusive Excellence is a planning process intended to help each
UW System institution establish a comprehensive and wellcoordinated set of systemic actions that focus specifically on
fostering greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accountability at
every level of university life.
 The central premise of Inclusive Excellence holds that UW
System colleges and universities need to intentionally integrate
their diversity efforts into the core aspects of their institutions—
such as their academic priorities, leadership, quality
improvement initiatives, decision-making, day-to-day operations,
and organizational cultures—in order to maximize their success.
