Framingham State University has received a $62,250 grant to address systemic racism in higher education and how it manifests on campus, with 150 campus leaders slated for the education.
The grant from the Massachusetts Higher Education Innovation Fund will be used to coordinate a Racial Equity Policy Review Institute to include leaders from across the FSU campus.
“Our central goal is for leaders on campus to leave the institute with an actionable plan to undertake policy review in their areas within the 2021-2022 academic year,” Constanza Cabello, vice president for diversity, inclusion and community engagement, said in the announcement.
The bulk of the state funding will go toward hiring educational experts to run the institute, according to the release.
