Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mission Statement

            The Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal is unequivocally committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in its membership and scholarship.  As a legal publication, our Journal has a responsibility to uplift underrepresented voices, remove barriers that prevent full participation in legal publication of historically marginalized groups, and create an inclusive environment for our members.

            Our Journal defines “diversity” as a range of experiences and worldviews that arise from, but are not limited to, differences in race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, first-generation status, socioeconomic status, and immigration status.  We define “equity” to mean the fair treatment and advancement for all people.  We define “inclusion” as the effort to ensure all our members and authors feel valued, supported, and appreciated.

            As a first, but significant step towards achieving these goals, our Journal has created a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Editor (“DEI Editor”) position on our Executive Board.  Further, to support the DEI Editor and the Journal’s DEI initiatives, we have created a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiative Committee.  The creation of these positions signifies the importance of these issues to our Journal and our commitment to improve ourselves actively, continuously, and vehemently.

            The DEI Editor will serve a pivotal role at every stage of the membership and publication process.  This includes, but is not limited to the following tasks:

• Strategizing, researching, and creating initiatives to actively improve diversity throughout our Journal;
  
  
• Assisting Managing Editor of Research & Writing with drafting list of topic proposals for Staff Writers to ensure inclusion of diverse topics;
  
  
• Assisting Managing Editor of Symposia and Special Projects in project planning such as:
  
  
• Assisting with Symposia planning to ensure representation of diverse voices, issues, and publications;
  
  
• Planning outreach programs;
  
  
• Serving as contact person to address members’ concerns arising under diversity, equity, and inclusion;
  
  
• Serving as a student liaison between student and faculty organizations (including Villanova University School of Law’s Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion);
  
  
• Serving as Chair of DEI Initiative Committee.

We are excited to take these important steps.  However, we acknowledge that this is only the beginning.  Just as strongly as we dedicate ourselves to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, we dedicate ourselves to continuous self-reflection and change for the betterment of our Journal and our contributions to the world of legal publication.
