Tufts University Cabinet on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Established in 2019, the Tufts University Cabinet on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (TUCDEI) was formed to bring together representatives from all of our schools to inform, advise, and support institutional inclusive excellence initiatives at Tufts.

Members of the cabinet were appointed by their respective dean and hold the position of Assistant or Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion (ADDI) within their school. Other members include the Associate Directors for Diversity and Inclusion Education. The cabinet reports to the Vice Provost for Institutional Inclusive Excellence.
