Information Technologies

Our Commitment

UW Bothell Information Technologies is committed to equity, justice, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We reject long-standing systems of oppression that foster anti-Black violence and create structures that perpetuate racial inequality and exclusion. We acknowledge that these structures have historically pervaded IT organizations. We also acknowledge that technology is not neutral and often sustains oppressive structures.

With this in mind, we commit to: 1) critically examining how our individual and organizational practices perpetuate exclusionary structures that particularly impact people from historically underrepresented groups; 2) engaging in intentional learning around anti-racism, gender and sex discrimination, positionality, and accessibility, and 3) championing technologies that improve access, promote equity, and foster engagement.

In this work we affirm that Black lives matter and join those working for concrete, institutional change.
