    <span>As undergraduate and graduate student populations have become more and more diverse, institutions of higher education are getting much more proactive in their goals to hire faculty that are prepared to be mentors, researchers, and teachers who are inclusive and culturally competent (about time, right?). As such, many academic jobs require a Diversity Statement or a Commitment to Diversity Statement. </span><span>This is a way for applicants to demonstrate they have the commitments and capacities to contribute to the institution’s goals of diversity, inclusion, and equity via their work (personally and professionally) and their lived experiences. </span><div><br></div>
    <div>Come learn more about how to craft these statements, how they are often scored, and <span>ways you can do additional work NOW before the job market to demonstrate the values you have. </span><div><span><br></span></div>

<Title>Zareen's Hazara family members fleeing Afghanistan</Title>
<Tagline>Supporting Zareen and Ali to support others in danger</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Zareen and Ali are dear friends and colleagues of many of us and we know that they work tirelessly to advocate for the rights of people from their country of origin, Afghanistan. Both Zareen and Ali come from an ethnic minority group in Afghanistan, the Hazara, who have been brutally targeted by extremists; <a href="https://muckrack.com/zareen-taj" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Zareen has </a><a rel="nofollow external" class="bo">written extensively on the issue</a> for Ms. Magazine and other outlets.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>At the present, Zareen and Ali are working to help bring 8 family members from Pakistan here to Baltimore. These family members have already survived harrowing ordeals to leave Afghanistan. They left Afghanistan with nothing. Zareen and Ali are the main financial supporters of them right now. While Zareen and Ali have been able to get pro-bono legal counsel for these family members, they want to file <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/archive/information-for-afghan-nationals-on-parole-into-the-united-states" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Humanitarian Parole</a> forms to bring them here to the United states. The fee for each applicant is $575.00. Right now, They need help to cover the fees to file the Humanitarian Parole applications and for them to get visas. Eventually, each of the 8 family members will need a plane ticket to come to Baltimore and some support locally while they get settled and find work. All 8 of the family members are in danger because of their ethnic minority status and several were also being targeted because of aid work they engaged in while in Afghanistan.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><span>Let's show Zareen and Ali our care and support by helping them to raise the funds they need to safely bring their family members here.</span></div>
