ADEI stands for which of the following?

• A. Advocacy, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
• B. Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
• C. Allied Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
• D. Anti-Discrimination, Equality, and Inclusion

Answer: (B)

ADEI is understood as Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The first term highlights a proactive stance against racism and the dismantling of systemic barriers, which is central to many social justice and equity efforts. The remaining components describe forming a diverse mix of people, pursuing fair outcomes through equity (not just equal treatment), and building inclusive environments where everyone can participate fully. Other options replace or omit key ideas—advocacy changes the focus of the A, equality uses the concept of sameness rather than addressing unequal outcomes, and terms like anti-discrimination or allied diversity don’t align with the standard anti-racism framing used in DEI work.
