- The BGSU Athletics Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force (DEI) consists of coaches, staff, and student-athletes within athletics, as well as numerous University Partners from various units across campus. Athletics believes that diversity & inclusion, with respect to race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identities and expressions, and disabilities, is critical to creating an atmosphere that enriches experiences and improves the human condition. The purpose of this Task Force is to provide leadership and guidance in the Department’s efforts to address issues identified with input from other Department members or groups and to implement action plans and metrics that progress the Department’s vision to create a community and culture that provides a welcoming and enriching environment for all.Â
