The ASEE Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is comprised of Standing Members, Division and Section Delegates, and Friends. Standing Members are appointed from several diversity serving divisions of ASEE and other organizational councils (see current list below). All ASEE Divisions may nominate a Delegate to serve on the Commission. Other ASEE members stay connected and serve as Friends. Please see the Get Involved page, if you would like to participate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CDEI solicit papers like divisions?
No. In the past, there were many discussions about whether committees and commissions can or should run paper tracks. There was a board decision communicated with CDEI around 2017 that they should not. The DEI community responded in two ways. CDEI’s response was to continue to run professional development workshops and the best paper competition but no longer solicit papers on our own. Other researchers and community members founded the division now known as the Equity, Culture, and Social Justice in Education Division, which has a full (and well-subscribed) paper program at the conference. CDEI was able to fill a gap in the community for a time, and it was clearly a need. It is now filled by a combination of ECSJ, WIED, MIND, LEES, and Ethics, as well as others.
