SUNY 's four priority pillars include diversity, equity, and inclusion. SUNY has made intentional efforts to increase the number of highly-qualified diverse faculty committed to advancing the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion who are selected for, and excel in, tenure-track positions. PRODIG + (Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Growth) will create a pipeline for over 400 postdoctoral fellows to enter tenure-track faculty positions at State-operated campuses over the next ten years.
