In order to make better decisions on how to create, maintain, or assess inclusive, diverse, and accessible collections, the DEI Audit Team recommends a series of actions to be implemented for current and future archival descriptive
practices, including:
- Creation/revisitation of policies, procedures, and everyday practices that would advance DEI
- Creation/revisitation of public statements around our DEIA descriptive practices
- Rethinking of outreach efforts in response to FU’s reckoning process
- Rethinking of advocacy efforts to involve new stakeholders and users
- Organization/Sponsorship of events to discuss findings with our community to discuss audit findings and connect them to larger DEI dialogues
- Scheduling of future iterative descriptive practices or audits
