The principles of inclusive excellence are infused throughout the teaching, research, and service conducted in the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For several years,  Fairmount College has included an advocate on every search committee for hiring new faculty. These search advocates, faculty members with expertise in hiring best practices, advise the committees on which they serve on issues ranging from generating a diverse pool of applicants to conducting fair and inclusive interviews to planning successful campus visits. Advocates, together with the dean, have designed standards to guide their work.

Fairmount College also is committed to instituting the recommendations made by the Advance Grant team, awarded $3,900,000 from the National Science Foundation to recruit more women and people of color to 萝莉社's STEM fields and improve the experiences of women and faculty of color already at 萝莉社. One of those recommendations was to create associate deans of Inclusive Excellence for each of 萝莉社's undergraduate colleges. In 2022, the Fairmount College Dean鈥檚 Office created its role of Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence, a half-time position reporting to the dean. The associate dean is charged with assigning search advocates and serving as an advocate on a search, working with departments to infuse more diversity within the curriculum, helping departments develop and maintain inclusive cultures, and, most importantly, helping departments and faculty with the diversity-related initiatives they are already implementing or would like to implement.

The college's Inclusive Excellence Committee members are faculty from across the college and will serve as an advisory body to guide the associate dean's work. Thus, the associate dean will prioritize the efforts faculty see as most important. This group will also create a Fairmount College Inclusive Excellence plan to guide the work of the associate dean and the committee in the years to come. The committee consists of the following faculty:
