Missouri Synod - One-Stop Shopping for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

 

Rachel Furgeson is the ninth "conservative Lutheran" with a Jesuit PhD, from St. Louis University.

"A small group of faculty and staff members at Concordia University Chicago (CUC), River Forest, Ill., recently field-tested a new CUC curriculum titled Unity and Civility in a Diverse Community. The group, which numbered about 10, worked through the curriculum together, led by CUC Professor of Music Dr. Maurice Boyer. The curriculum was created by a committee chaired by Dr. Rachel Ferguson, director of CUC’s Free Enterprise Center and assistant dean of the CUC College of Business. 

Ferguson, who has also been instrumental in developing the curriculum, said its purpose is “to provide a biblically grounded approach to many of the questions that other institutions of higher education are answering with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion content."
