Husker Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Team

The Husker JEDI Team is a group of student-athletes with representation from all teams within Nebraska Athletics. The main objective of this group is to provide real time information about the culture of each team and other aspects of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion that directly impact student-athletes. Representatives are chosen by coaches and players from each team. The representative is expected to familiarize themselves with specific cultural issues that impact their teammates. They are also tasked with assuring their teammates are provided with information regarding ongoing JEDI activities that are happening on campus and in the community.

Big Ten Equality Coalition Members 

The goal of the Coalition is to seek tangible ways to actively and constructively combat racism and hate around the world while also empowering student-athletes to express their rights to free speech and nonviolent protest. The Coalition is comprised of student-athletes, staff members, coaches, faculty and administrators from the 14 institutions across the Big Ten Conference. The Coalition is consistently working to create content, programming and policies that can be distributed and implemented across the Big Ten Conference. Members of each Coalition take the information and explore ways to implement it to their specific campuses. Nebraska’s representatives are listed below.
