Inclusive Leadership Network
Collaborating to Increase Impact
The Inclusive Leadership Network (ILN) is a mechanism to foster collaboration between organizational units to expand the inclusive leadership development opportunities available to academic and administrative leaders who are responsible for hiring, retention, promotion, and advancement to leadership. The ILN partners cooperatively host the Inclusive Leadership Academy, a series of workshops focused on building the capacity of leaders to create and sustain inclusive climates.

University Equity and Inclusion
As an integral part of the university’s central leadership, the University Equity and Inclusion Office provides accountability and encouragement as we build a better Rutgers together. We are building capacity to lead strategic and campus-wide efforts to advance diversity and inclusion, emphasizing diversity education and outreach to promote personal and professional growth to foster a climate of inclusion within a diverse community, and establishing partnerships to support coordination with existing campus diversity efforts. We have a core objective to develop strategy and an understanding of our shared responsibility to nurture institutional diversity and build community.
Center for Organizational Leadership
The Rutgers Center for Organizational Leadership is a national leader and resource for Rutgers University and the higher education community. As a hub for academic leadership development, consultation, and research, our portfolio of programs and services seek to build academic leadership capacity, strengthen organizational effectiveness, and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement across the institution.

The Office of Teaching Evaluation and Assessment Research (OTEAR) is a central office within Academic Affairs, reporting to the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs (EVPAA).

In our role to support the university community, OTEAR collects and analyzes student feedback on instruction, and provides both university-wide programming and customized workshops, training, and consultations upon request.
