Vermont State University has a new chief diversity officer.
Paul Yoon previously spent years as the senior adviser for inclusive excellence at the University of Vermont. He was also vice principal at Frederick H. Tuttle Middle School in South Burlington.
And he starts work at a time when many institutions are shutting down or significantly curtailing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging work.
Yoon recently joined Vermont Public’s Jenn Jarecki in-studio to discuss his approach to DEIB efforts. This piece was produced for the ear. We highly recommend listening to the audio. We’ve also provided a transcript, which has been edited for length and clarity.
