    Center for Equality, Pluralism and Policy (CEPP)

    Mission

    The Center for Equality, Pluralism and Policy (CEPP) supports scholarly research, conferences, and curriculum projects that explore how social and economic inequality manifests in our racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse society. Through rigorous analytical approaches, the Center aims to examine how economic and social policies are formulated and implemented in settings of racial, ethnic, and class conflict. CEPP is committed to promoting diversity-sensitive policies and approaches that advance human rights.

    The Faculty of the Marxe School is reimagining the mission for CEPP as it undergoes recertification. We invite you to share your comments with the Acting Director, Sonia Jarvis, during this process.

    We would also like to hear from our students and faculty members about the topics and issues they would like to see CEPP address in the future. A survey will be posted on the Baruch website shortly.

    History

    The Center was founded in 2001, and since its inception, has housed the Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Visiting Distinguished Professorship of Equality and Justice in America. CEPP has hosted and will continue to host, programs, workshops, and lectures that feature distinguished Baruch faculty members and esteemed guest speakers.
