President Marc Johnson, Provost Kevin Carman and Faculty Senate Chair David Sanders will be on hand for the next Campus Conversations event, to be held on Monday, Feb. 8 from 3-4 p.m., in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center Rotunda, Room 201.
The event will be focused on the subject of diversity. In a message to the campus, Sanders wrote that, "Diversity of our faculty is critical to improving our overall campus diversity. The University Strategic Plan calls for an increase in diversity of faculty from 21 percent in 2014 to 25 percent in 2021. Currently there are 110 faculty searches in progress; what is the best way to promote diversity in the faculty that we hire? What is the best way to maintain a diverse faculty?"
Individuals who cannot attend in person are encouraged to access the Conversation with this link: unr.edu/live (the link will be active on the day of the event). Email comments or questions can be sent to conversation@unr.edu. To keep identity confidential, indicate "confidential" in the subject line.
