Nominees are also considered for  the IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access Leadership) Award, which can be awarded to an alumnus or alumna to recognize their outstanding work in advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in their local community or profession, or at the national or global level. 

• Must have obtained a degree from Boston University College or Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (this includes the College of Liberal Arts).
• Current Boston University employees are not eligible for consideration.
• Nominees who may be perceived to have a conflict of interest (i.e. grant funders, grant recipients, etc.) with the institution will not be considered.
• Political candidates may not be selected or honored in a year in which they are actively pursuing election or re-election.
• The award is not presented in absentia but may be presented posthumously.
• A nominee who is selected but unable to accept the award in a given year will be invited to accept the following year, at the discretion of the committee. If the nominee is unable to accept the award in the second year, the nominee will remain in consideration for subsequent years but will not be automatically selected.
• All nominations will remain active/in consideration for three years.
• Awards may be withdrawn by the selection committee for any cause which reflects poorly upon the University or the Alumni Association.
