Diversity Council
In 2008, the University formed the Diversity Council , a group that advises the offices of the provost and executive vice president on diversity-related matters. The council is co-chaired by the vice president for human resources and the vice provost for institutional equity and diversity.
Building upon the report of a campus-wide Diversity Working Group held in 2004-2005 and the 2006 Perspectives on Diversity survey, the council (1) recommends and promotes policies, practices and programs that foster effective participation in a diverse and inclusive community; (2) examines formal and informal structures and processes that impede or facilitate progress toward diversity goals and recommends changes; and (3) identifies strategies and approaches to raise awareness and sustain dialogue.
