ACTIONHere’s how the group grappled with how (and whether) equity work and thinking — conceived of as “diversity and inclusion” or “D&I” at PLU — might be considered innovative: Tyler: Well, let me start with this: I think the way that we in the American and Western paradigm understand D&I is through the lens of capitalism.

Simon Award for Achievements in Global Education. We became on that day the first independent university in the Western United States to be so recognized. It was a fitting recognition of an amazing achievement accomplished over several decades by our faculty.

phosphorus availability in the soil. This project focuses on five putatively cytosolic phosphatases (At2g38740, At2g32150, At3g62040, At5g02230, and At5g59490) belong to haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily. T-DNA insertion screening and western blot assays are performed on transgenic plants with overexpression and RNAi lines for each gene. These transgenic plants will help determine the role played by these genes in maintaining homeostasis levels of phosphate in the cytosol in specific conditions
