Inclusion Council
In the Fall of 2021, Georgetown Law created the first-ever Inclusion Council. At the time, it was chaired by Sheila Foster, the Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Urban Law and Policy, and Dean Everett Bellamy, Interim Director of Equity and Inclusion.
The Inclusion Council reports directly to the Dean, and its charge is to facilitate activities and propose reforms that will increase inclusion and belonging for all members of the Law Center community.
As a community, we must take a serious look at our culture, structure, systems, and processes to ensure that we are a community that fosters respect, equity, and justice. We have significant work ahead of us to create a community in which students are able to foster positive connections with others, and where everyone feels supported and appreciated for their contributions.
The Inclusion Council will help advance that important work.
The Council comprises students, faculty, staff, and alumni, with the goal of ensuring that multiple perspectives and voices are heard, and that recommendations reflect the entire community’s input.
