How can the organization create a mission and goals to outwardly express and reinforce its commitment to diversity and inclusion? What might the mission statement say to express that commitment? 

Imagine you have been hired as the new Diversity & Inclusion Specialist in the Human Resources (HR) department of the organization you currently work for or another organization of your choosing. One of the first tasks you are given is to create a diversity proposal in response to an anonymous complaint (below) that was recently submitted to the HR suggestion box: 
Complaint: I have been working here for 4 years. I am tired of watching the same “Diversity in the Workplace” 20-minute video each January in order to satisfy the company’s annual diversity training requirement. Nothing around here shows that this company values diversity. As one of a few people of color at this company, I feel like I’m just here to increase diversity numbers so the company “looks good” on paper. When are we going to actually do something to recognize all types of diversity? There are more aspects to diversity, besides race, that make individuals unique.   
Create a 500- to 800-word diversity proposal in which you address the following questions:  

What is the business case or proposition for recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion?  
How can the organization create a mission and goals to outwardly express and reinforce its commitment to diversity and inclusion? What might the mission statement say to express that commitment? 
What are at least 2 short-term actions (less than 6 months) that the organization can take to immediately address some of the concerns expressed in the anonymous complaint?  
What are at least 2 long-term actions (6 months to 2 years) that the organization can take to address some of the concerns expressed in the anonymous complaint? 
How can the company enhance its current annual employee diversity training? Why is this training important?  
What initiatives can the company implement to celebrate diversity beyond race?  
How can these initiatives bring employees together to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion? 
What other suggestions do you have to improve workplace culture and messaging around diversity and inclusion?  
Provide an introduction and conclusion for your proposal and use professional tone and language, DO NOT USE FIRST PERSON.
Include evidence and citations from a minimum of 2 scholarly articles/academic references. 
Format your paper/proposal according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines found in the APA Templates and Samples section of the Center for Writing Excellence.

TheoryLogicModelforaProject.docx

Theory Logic Model for the
Project: hypertension in homeless

A logic model or program theory is a description or model frequently pictorial of how a program is supposed to achieve its expected outcomes and solve the identified problem for which it was created. It creates a logical links between expected outcomes and the activities designed to achieve them and incorporates the evidence-based theoretical assumptions that explain how the activities will lead to outcomes. A program theory or logic model is NOT the theoretical framework on which your project: hypertension in homeless is based although it may be related to a theoretical framework. A theoretical or conceptual framework is a general theory that explains why some things happen. A program theory or logic model is unique to your project and explains how it is supposed to work.

Assignment Prompt

1. Develop a one-page diagram of theoretical foundation for my project: hypertension in homeless, describing how and why your project should achieve the desired outcome.

 ASSIGNMENT: The Touchstone Tasks in this course will help you prepare for the final Touchstone, which you will submit at the end of Unit 4. A Touchstone is a project that demonstrates your comprehension of the course material. It will help you refine skills, and demonstrate application of knowledge. For your reference, there is more information about Touchstones in the student guide.
There are a total of five Touchstone Tasks throughout the course:

Touchstone Task 1: Planning a Network Infrastructure
Touchstone Task 2.1: Planning Network Printer Connectivity
Touchstone Task 2.2: Planning IP Address Assignments
Touchstone Task 3: Planning a Wireless Infrastructure
Touchstone Task 4: Planning Network Security Measures

There are many benefits to segmenting a network so that all the hosts are not on the same broadcast domain. This Touchstone Task prompts you to think about those benefits, formulate a segmentation plan, propose a subnet mask, and evaluate whether or not using VLANs is an appropriate choice. While all of this technical information may not make it directly into your final Touchstone report, it is useful to think about these considerations because they may inform other decisions you make.
While you will not receive a grade or feedback on this Touchstone Task submission, doing the work now will help you complete your final project. Completing this exercise at this point of the course ensures that you are ready to move on. Further, these Touchstone Tasks build throughout the next Units and form the foundation of the presentation for your final project.

· How important are facts in the process of forming an opinion? Explain what you believe to be the purpose or function of facts in making a judgment.

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
· Textbook: Chapter 6, 7
· Lesson
· Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)
Introduction
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinions – but not their own facts.” (Daniel Patrick Moynihan, cited in Vanity Fair, 2010, para. 2)
We form opinions – and make our judgments – based on facts we observe and values we hold. Our judgments are also influenced by the opinions of others. In the section “An Expert on Hate in America” in Chapter 6, one of the authors, Dr. Peter Facione, renders an opinion on a non-profit civil rights organization: Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Dr. Facione is a leading advocate and one of the most influential voices in the field of critical thinking.
His endorsement of the civil rights organization is unqualified. It is also transparent: Dr. Facione reveals that he is a financial supporter of the organization and has arranged speaking engagements for its founder. This is Dr. Facione’s invitation to you, the reader:
Knowing where you can learn more about the SPLC for yourself, and knowing about Dr. Facione’s endorsement and support of the Center’s work, evaluate this claim made by Dr. Facione: “The SPLC is an expert on hate in America” (p. 124).
The endorsement of the SPLC is contained in the most current edition of the text, whose copyright date is 2016. Since that time Morris Dees, co-founder and former chief trial counsel, has been fired (Hassan, Zraick & Blinder, 2019). Previously, there has been controversy about groups and individuals that are listed by the SPLC as “hate groups” (Graham, 2016; Price, 2018). The organization, which has nearly a half-billion dollars in assets, has also been criticized for how it spends these funds (Robinson, 2019).
Self-Assessment Question
Before you submit your initial post, make sure to read the assigned chapter. Then, ask yourself the following: Did the article in Chapter 6 of the text seem credible and reliable? Why? Be very specific:
· Was it because it is in a textbook?
· Because it was written by a learned and respected person?
· Because of content in the article?
· Because of your previous knowledge of the SPLC?
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address the following:
· Conduct additional research on the SPLC. Did your opinion alter in any way? Why?
Only after you have done some responsible research should you begin to respond to the discussion prompt. The discussion is not about the SPLC; it is not about Dr. Facione. It is about what you have learned about forming opinions.
Your post must answer this question:
· How do you define the term “expert”?
Your post must also discuss 
at least two (2) of the following questions:

· How important are facts in the process of forming an opinion? Explain what you believe to be the purpose or function of facts in making a judgment.
· How did you respond to the self-assessment question? Since doing further research, have you re-thought the way in which you assess credibility and reliability? What is the importance of factoring the recency of a reference or opinion (i.e., how old is it?) into an assessment of credibility and reliability?
· How would you evaluate Dr. Facione’s claim “The SPLC is an expert on hate in America” (p. 124). Does the SPLC fit your definition of “expert”? Be specific in your answer.

Which study did you select? (provide the title, if available and link)
Was there an informed consent process? If so, what was it? (We will cover informed consent fully in Week 8/Chapter 3, but let’s start thinking about it now.*)
Briefly explain the study that you, as a participant, were required to do for this study. 
Was the study experimental or correlational?

Which features made it experimental or correlational?
If the study was correlational, what were the main variables measured, and which did they think were predictor and criterion variables?
If the study was experimental, what were the independent and dependent variables?

Were any measures taken to control extraneous variables? If so, what were they?
Does the study seem to have external validity? Internal validity? Why or why not?
How could this study be changed from a correlational to an experimental study or from an experimental to a correlational study?
Why did the researchers use the approach they did (correlational or experimental)?
