"CEMRRAT was established in 1994 after the APA designated ethnic minority education as a priority, with the goal of improving the recruitment and retention of ethnic minorities and addressing systemic barriers to their participation in psychology."
"Historically, CEMRRAT has awarded implementation grants and seed funding to organizations, institutions, and individuals to support projects related to recruitment and retention, multicultural training, mentorship and development, innovation projects, and data and research."
"The creation of CEMRRAT was particularly important given the painful experiences that racial and ethnic minorities have historically and contemporarily experienced in APA and by APA's actions."
The disbanding of the Commission on Ethnic Minority Recruitment, Retention, and Training in Psychology (CEMRRAT) raises concerns about the American Psychological Association's commitment to diversity. Established in 1994, CEMRRAT focused on improving the recruitment and retention of ethnic minorities in psychology. It provided resources and support for projects aimed at addressing systemic barriers. The decision to disband CEMRRAT reflects a broader trend of sacrificing diversity interests under the pretext of re-evaluating priorities, undermining the progress made in supporting psychologists of color.
