We are a country that, in the next 30 years, will be completely multi-racial. There will not be a single ethnic or racial majority.
Inclusive Excellence
Tisch College’s North Star—building robust, inclusive democracy for an increasingly multiracial society—is embedded across our research, courses and programs and supports the University’s commitment to institutional inclusive excellence. Tisch College’s major research centers continue to focus on strengthening the political participation and voices of historically marginalized people, especially youth, and on addressing the challenges of building the democratic institutions for a multiracial society.
Themes of diversity and equity are at the heart of our community-based work and partnerships. Tisch College has a long-standing DEIJ Committee, which is represented on every hiring committee, and offers professional development and staff reflection opportunities. Elevating this work, Tisch College appointed Shirley Mark as our inaugural Assistant Dean of Diversity & Inclusion in January 2022, bringing deep institutional knowledge to this leadership role.
Our civic responsibility demands that we act, especially in times of trauma and struggle. No institution is exempt from this responsibility, including Tufts University and Tisch College.
Alan D. Solomont, Dean Emeritus

Associate Dean Diane M. Ryan is quoted throughout this article about the disbanding of dozens of affinity groups at West Point in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order calling for an end to diversity, equity and inclusion policies at the federal level saying “You’re going to have a much more effective military when the demographics of the military represent the demographics of society.”
