EN-13: Community Stakeholder Engagement

Local Community Relations Department: Since 2007, local community relations staff have included in work plans and practice a multi-facited community engagement plan that includes extensive education and communications efforts and reactive problem solving and strategizing. It is founded on developing and maintaining a wide variety of relationships with near campus neighbors, city and government leaders, and affected stakeholders. UO partners in this effort include Office of the Dean of Students, UOPD, Enterprise Risk Services, Campus Operations, Campus Planning,Design,Consturciton and Real Estate, Finance and Administrative top leaders, Athletics operations staff, and many more. In addition, Local Community Relations staff monitor local government actions and policies as they affect the UO. Campus Planning: The Campus Plan and associated policies describe the importance of effective community engagement and establish requirements for public engagement in decisions related to the physical campus planning, design and construction. University Advancement: The University recently adopted the IDEAL framework that outlines the institutions values and goals related to equity and inclusion for all members of our campus community. The documents outlines the University's efforts to make progress on three specific priorities within the area of diversity, equity and inclusion, goals
which both support and enhance the above priorities. Those include (i) creating a more robust pipeline
for diverse students to enter the UO; (ii) increasing diversity and equity among the faculty, staff,
administrators, and students; and (iii) creating a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment for
all faculty, staff, and students. More information can be found at https://inclusion.uoregon.edu/IDEAL

Many. Neighbors still feel impacted but they also know they have a conduit to share concerns and work out possible solutions. Areas of cooperation include neighborhood livability and student behavior: mitigation of parking, traffic, lights and amplification related to athletic and academic events; impacts from construction and new buildings at campus edges, etc. University Advancement: The University of Oregon works across the state to engage in community events with a targeted focus on those that serve under represented and minority communities.
