The Ethics, Integrity, and Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion rubric articulates what Syracuse University students should know and be able to demonstrate by the time they graduate through four learning outcomes and specific indicators. The Ethics, Integrity, and Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion rubric was created by a community of practice. Committee members included faculty, librarians, staff, and students from across the University. This rubric is intended for institutional-level use in assessing and reflecting on undergraduate student learning. Faculty teaching courses with an Ethics, Integrity, and Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion course tag may refer to the learning outcomes when developing course learning objectives, signature assignments, and experiences forstudents. This rubric will continue to evolve as Syracuse University collects feedback from faculty who utilize it to reflect on student learning.
Reflection on the dynamic relationships among power, inequality, identities, and social structures. Thoughtful engagement with one’s values, intersectional identities, experiences, and diverse perspectives and people. Application of ethical and inclusive decision-making in the context of personal, academic, professional, and collaborative pursuits.
This rubric is meant to provide faculty and students with specific learning outcomes for Ethics, Integrity, and Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion.
These learning outcomes are:
1. Examine how one’s own values, identities, cultures, histories, and communities can inform one’s own actions.
2. Evaluate cases of systemic social injustice and inequalities.
3. Examine values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in different contexts.
4. Evaluate real-world situations in the context of ethical frameworks that work to promote integrity in action.
