| "I don’t believe in a prescriptive approach, to say that this is how it has to be. I also often avoid using “best practices.” Particularly around DEI, I say better, not best, because the idea that any one practice is the best one, to me, is completely devoid of the recognition of the nuance and individual nature of each situation and community. Rather, can we have informed practices?" | | From "DeLa Dos on the Equity Work Ahead for ARL" |
