Purpose

The Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Queer Issues, CACQI, works to identify institutional, structural, and cultural initiatives that advance the UC Merced campus climate for the LGBTQ₂IA₂ and expanding community. The advisory committee advocates on campus on behalf of the LGBTQ₂IA₂ community for participation, success, and visibility across multiple dimensions of inequality including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, religion, ability, veteran, marital and familial status.  The Committee will operate under a shared governance model, intentionally including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, senate and non-senate faculty and staff.

Mission

The Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Queer Issues identifies issues, and makes recommendations for the inclusion and advancement of the LGBTQ₂IA₂ and expanding community at UC Merced. With our continued growth, we will adopt action plans to ensure forward movement in creating a welcoming, affirming, equitable and vibrant learning, working and living environment for all UC Merced community members.
