Branch Leadership Playbooks

AAUW of Michigan is producing a series of branch leadership playbooks to assist branch officers and the collaborative teams they assemble, both formal and informal, to assist in performing their responsibilities. These playbooks are designed to be scalable for use by small, medium, and large branches. We hope the playbooks will help branches recruit new officers by making the jobs appear manageable, satisfying, and occasionally even fun. We welcome suggestions for updates and additions to future versions of the playbooks. Please send comments to .

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Toolkit

The AAUW Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) resources in the DEI Toolkit aim to identify best practices for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within AAUW. These resources present guidelines for how AAUW branches, national members, student members and individual members can demonstrate an understanding of AAUW’s mission, values, goals and strategic plan. It is meant to start the inclusion conversation. We encourage all members to seek ways to incorporate inclusive practices into their branches and daily life.

Under Trump, the Department of Education no longer publishes lists of schools under investigation in response to complaints including allegations of race, sex, and disability discrimination. Pro Publica sued to get the list and has made it public. Complaints haven’t gone down since Biden was in office, but the number of cases launched has been reduced by about two-thirds. The decline in investigations is especially steep for cases involving sexual assault on school campuses. Over 200 new complaints have been filed with the office related to schools’ handling of rape, assault, and sexual abuse. The Trump administration launched investigations in just 29 cases and found fault with a school district in only a single instance, according to the newly obtained data. In other years, there have usually been at least 60 sexual violence investigations opened annually. Read more and search Pro Publica's database of complaints filed with the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights to see which complaints were investigated, dismissed, or are still pending: www.propublica.org/article/civil-rights-office-education-department-investigations#civilrightsofstudents #sexualassualtoncampus #sexualassaultinvestigations ...
