I’d like to thank the students, faculty, and staff on our CSE Diversity Committee for creating a department inclusiveness statement that was approved by the CSE Executive Committee earlier this week.
It’s now on our web page at http://www.cs.washington.edu/diversity.
This short document does an excellent job of summarizing important long-standing norms of our community.  We have much work to do and statements are not the same as actions, but it’s nonetheless really great to have this resource as a written reminder of values we care deeply about and insist upon.
