About the Center for Understanding Equity

History and Philosophy

The Center was founded in 2003 by Dr. Stacy L Scott.  Dr. Scott also heads ExecResults Consulting, which he co-founded with Kerry Messer in 1989.  Through these organizations Dr. Scott has had a long history of supporting schools, communities, universities and corporations in creating strategic focus on making diversity a source of strength and creativity.  His philosophy and that of Center associates include:

  • Diversity awareness is not to be pursued for its own sake but rather to be put to use in the service of enriching the interactions and productivity of the organization 
  • Creativity and high performance are the fruit of healthy individuals and organizations
  • Diversity, well managed, is at the heart of a healthy organization
  • Individuals who relish their uniqueness bring new energy to their performance teams also perform better when diversity is alive and fully explored
