In this episode, we sit with leaders behind the Diverse Organizational Impact and Transformation certification program, DOIT.
Tune in as Dr. Ken D. Coopwood, CEO of Coopwood Diversity Leadership & Education Universal (Coop Di Leu), and Dr. William B. Harvey, a distinguished scholar at the American Association for Access, Equity, and Diversity in Washington, D.C., join host Ralph Newell to discuss the significance of accountability in higher education institutions, provide insights on the DOIT Certification, and explain the pivotal role institutions of higher learning play in a democratic society.
Coopwood and Harvey break down DOIT’s four pillars for institutional transformation (from representational diversity to campus climate), debate views on critical race theory, and share helpful advice to help leaders address issues in diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education. Do not miss out on this episode as our guests spotlight the critical need to track diversity progress in today’s climate.

QUOTABLES:
“These institutions – public or private, large or small, irrespective of location, irrespective of their fundamental [and] foundational aspects – they exist to make the society better.” — Dr. William B. Harvey
“We need institutional leaders to be futuristic, and their approach [to] science education, now more than ever — because without that, you're not going to ask the right questions, you're not going to address the historical illusion, and you're not going to be equipped to write a new narrative. And those things are the premises.” – Dr. Ken D. Coopwood

I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
