The Advancing Communities of Equity through Institutional Transformation (ACE-IT) program at St. John’s University will focus on assessing the climate experienced by minoritized faculty, particularly women in STEM, and improving institutional culture and structures so that all members of the faculty are treated equitably, regardless of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, faculty appointment type, or any other non-merit status. The St. John’s ACE-IT Leadership Team will engage the university community to assess the faculty experience, pilot equity and inclusion initiatives, and develop a five-year equity strategic plan for STEM faculty. While the ACE-IT program will emphasize the experiences of women faculty in STEM, it is anticipated that this work will inform diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives for faculty more generally. A large number of St. John’s faculty are in STEM and STEM-adjacent disciplines, housed across five different schools/colleges, each with distinctive microcultures and microclimates.The ACE-IT program will emphasize structural transformation efforts to achieve equity and inclusion in the academic workplace. This will be accomplished through a comprehensive institutional assessment, implementation of pilot programming, and the development of a five-year equity strategic plan for STEM faculty, through an intersectional and culturally responsive approach. The ACE-IT work will be informed by literature associated with STEM faculty equity, organizational change, social location theory, intersectionality, and systems of oppression. The ACE-IT program will also focus on understanding and improving the faculty experience for our large population of contingent faculty. The ACE-IT program is designed to center the experiences of minoritized faculty and to develop an overall faculty equity plan that transforms our institutional structures, culture, and climate to ensure the success of all.The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Catalyst" awards provide support for institutional equity assessments and the development of five-year faculty equity strategic plans at an academic, non-profit institution of higher education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

圣约翰大学的“通过制度转型促进公平社区”(ACE-IT) 计划将重点评估少数族裔教职人员（尤其是 STEM 领域的女性）所经历的氛围，并改善机构文化和结构，使所有教职员工都得到平等对待公平地，无论性别、性别、种族、民族、阶级、年龄、能力、教职人员任命类型或任何其他非绩效状态，圣约翰学院 ACE-IT 领导团队都会让大学社区参与评估教职人员的经验，飞行员虽然 ACE-IT 计划将强调女性教师在 STEM 领域的经验，但预计这项工作将促进多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI)。 ）总体上，圣约翰学院的大量教职人员从事 STEM 和 STEM 相关学科，分布在五个不同的学校/学院，每个学校/学院都有独特的微文化和小气候。ACE-IT 计划将强调结构转型。这将通过全面的机构评估、试点计划的实施以及通过跨文化响应的方法制定 STEM 教师的五年公平战略计划来实现。 -IT 工作将参考与 STEM 教师公平、组织变革、社会位置理论、交叉性和压迫系统相关的文献。 ACE-IT 计划还将侧重于理解和改善我们大量临时教师的教师体验。 ACE-IT 计划旨在. NSF ADVANCE 计划旨在通过重点识别和消除少数群体教师的经验来促进性别平等，从而改变我们的机构结构、文化和氛围，以确保所有人的成功。阻碍学术机构中多元化教师充分参与和进步的组织障碍 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。发展学术性非营利高等教育机构的五年股权教师战略计划。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
