RACE & EQUITY
COSMA accepted the call to action to work toward social justice. As an accrediting body in higher education, COSMA has an obligation, and great opportunity, to serve as a leader within the sport management community. We have committed, among other initiatives, to work to improve diversity and inclusion for COSMA members and their respective institutions (view actionable items here). Building on the #COSMA2020 theme of "Equity and Diversity in Assessment," the #COSMA2021 theme will be "Race & Equity in the Sports Academy and Practice." COSMA is committed to advancing diversity and inclusion in higher education and #COSMA2021 will provide a forum for open dialogue and action in these areas.
NOTE: Video abstract reviewers are aware of potential biases based on a person's race, age, gender, etc. and those will NOT negatively impact their decision-making.
