Shared Responsibility Means Shared Accountability: Rethinking Accountability Within Shared Equity Leadership

In this report, the third in the On Shared Equity Leadership series, we describe the ways that campuses implementing SEL are grappling with accountability in environments where responsibility for DEI work is broadly distributed. What does it mean when more people are in charge of accomplishing DEI goals? How do we effectively and honestly measure progress on DEI goals? How do we ensure we are measuring the right goals while simultaneously holding the right people accountable for advancing campus equity goals? This report examines these questions and more, providing many examples for campuses struggling to rethink their accountability systems as they broaden responsibility for DEI work.
