반인종주의, 형평성 및 포용성 선언문
CAPS-I는 인종차별을 이해하고 이에 맞서 싸우며, 정책, 홍보 및 관행을 통해 협회의 생활과 문화에 인종차별이 반영되도록 노력하는 데 전념하고 있습니다:
- 인종차별 문제와 그것이 우리 협회와 회원들에게 미치는 영향을 의도적으로 파악하고, 논의하고, 탐색합니다.
- 우리 자신과 커뮤니티, 이해관계자가 불평등을 더 잘 이해하고 인식하며 이에 맞서 행동할 수 있도록 책임을 지고 있습니다.
- 인종, 민족, 종교, 능력, 정체성, 성향, 관점에 관계없이 모든 사람과 커뮤니티에 대해 배우고 지원합니다.
- CAPS-I와 연계된 광범위한 학계 및 비즈니스 커뮤니티 내에서 인종차별을 해결하기 위한 전략을 개발하고 이사회 및 인종차별 이해 및 퇴치 위원회와 협력하고 있습니다.
