We, the students of the University of Maryland School of Social Work, strongly support the establishment of a permanent Diversity and Anti-Oppression (DAO) Faculty Committee. The DAO Committee will advance social justice principles and an anti-oppression framework within the School of Social Work by making policy recommendations, promoting an equitable school and work environment for students and staff, and ensuring that the curriculum critically engages and challenges all students.
....
The DAO Committee grew out of the Anti-Oppression Work Group (AOWG), a collective of students at the University of Maryland School of Social Work organizing to challenge systems of oppression within our school curriculum, policies and practices.

12.17.2012 Statement of Student Concerns
This statement was drafted collaboratively and signed by roughly 100 students. It was presented to Dean Barth and Dean Deal at an "open forum" meeting held on December 17, 2012 from 5-6pm.
"As social work students, constituents of the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Social Work, our list of collective concerns are as follows:
1. Curriculum and Learning Environment: Rigor, content, continuity, and mechanisms for addressing systems of oppression need to be evaluated in the current course curriculum. Classes should be challenging, engaging, relevant, and incorporate principles of social justice. Courses should be consistent with the NASW Code of Ethics, vision of the school, and encourage practical application of social work skills.
Suggestion: Classes designed in cohort style to allow for group cohesion and space for challenging classroom discussion. This "round table" format will increase accountability and provide a more engaging learning experience.
Suggestion: Increased faculty collaboration to avoid unnecessary overlap in class material. Encourage faculty to facilitate classroom discussions regarding racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and other forms of individual and institutional oppression.ith such a large student body and faculty, the school needs adequate communication systems for receiving feedback and ensuring quality. This includes more transparency within the school's administration, field office, and faculty.
2. Mechanisms for Feedback and Quality Checks: With such a large student body and faculty, the school needs adequate communication systems for receiving feedback and ensuring quality. This includes more transparency within the school's administration, field office, and faculty.
Suggestion: Monthly "open forum" meetings including two or more Deans, faculty members, and a representative from the field office. These forums should be institutionalized and include accountability measures.
Suggestion: Evaluate the accessibility of the School of Social Work website and implement changes.
3. Field Placements: Field placements should mirror curriculum in rigor, content, and continuity. Students should have equal access to safe and supportive agency placements. These organizations should provide appropriate supervision, social work learning environments, and opportunities for professional growth.
Suggestion: Allow students to interview at multiple field placement sites in order to determine agency/student "fit."
Suggestion: Facilitate a more transparent, flexible, and collaborative relationship between the field office and students."
