UCL Employee committees provide an opportunity for you to get involved in something you’re passionate about. Some committees have specific goals in mind and thus disband once those are achieved and others are ongoing. Each committee is run by a chair (or co-chairs) and sponsored by a member of the leadership team. The leadership member works to ease the communication between staff and leadership.

Equity Diversity and Inclusion
The UCL EDI Committee advocates for equity and justice for historically marginalized, disenfranchised, and oppressed peoples in Utah. We develop practices and policies to protect against unconscious bias in our hiring and programming, with the goals of creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all peoples and better serving and representing the communities we serve.
Committee Co-Chairs: Christine Baczek and Kurt GunerBaczek
Function of the Members
- Chair/Co-Chair: The chair serves as the primary liaison between the committee and the leadership team. The chair also sets meetings and meeting agendas to keep the committee moving towards its stated goals.
The committee consists of seven members:
- one from Digital Learning Experiences & Digital Learning Technologies
- one from Programs
- one from Administration and Operations
- three at large
- one ad hoc from HR
Committee members serve three-year terms on a staggered basis beginning January 1. Two members (one from Digital Learning, Programs, or Admin & Ops and one at large) will rotate off the committee each year.
Each committee member dedicates 5% of their employment effort to research and learning, meeting and collaborating, and taking action toward the charge. This is to be reflected on the committee members’ performance evaluation in UUPM with tactical and strategic goals. A representative from University Human Resources serves as an ad hoc member for purposes of acting as a subject matter expert on university policies and processes.
