Standing Committees: Diversity Council Committee

Diversity Council

(last updated 10/15/2007)

Reports to: President

Contact and Chair: Emily Washines, Native American Liaison, Admissions

Purpose: Serves as the focal point on campus to explore issues and recommend university-wide initiatives that:

  • Nurture a recognition and respect for the diversity within our state, our nation, and the world;
  • Foster a climate of inclusion;
  • Solicit and examine views and concerns of the university community on all aspects of diversity
  • Achieve excellence and quality through diversity; and
  • Assist the university in addressing diversity issues that arise on campus.
.

Each year, council members will work together with the president to develop short- and long-term initiatives that are strategic and measurable. The council will meet at least once annually with the staff of the Office for Equal Opportunity to discuss issues of diversity, globalism, and inclusion. The council also will work through commissions that identify specific areas of interest related to diversity and that permit the widest possible representation of interested parties on campus. The council will develop a written report to the president at the end of each year in which issues that arose during the year and progress on initiatives are described.
