Dr. Michael Coray, Special Assistant to the President for Diversity (SAPD, has broad responsibility to develop and implement campus-wide diversity initiatives. Prior to Fall 2002, three diversity committees of long-standing reported directly to the President.
In Fall 2002, the President, upon the recommendation of Dr. Coray and the President's Council, created three additional diversity related committees that have the same reporting structure. These constituent- or issue-based diversity committees include:
Simultaneously, the reporting line of the long-standing Work & Family Taskforce (WFT) was redirected to the President through the Special Assistant. The Special Assistant also convenes occasional meetings of the Diversity Dialogues Group --students, faculty and staff volunteers who strive to provide opportunities for the university community to discuss significant and timely issues.
In addition to the campus-wide committees mentioned above, the university strategic planning process has identified diversity related initiatives by many of the university's Vice Presidents, Deans and Directors at the division and unit levels.
Each of the diversity related committees welcomes and encourages participation from all segments of the university community--students, staff and faculty. The sole criterion for participation or membership on the diversity committees is support for, or interest in, the purpose of the respective committee. Recruitment is onging.
If you are interested in becoming a member of a Diversity Committee please contact the SAPD directly. The annual reports of the activities of most of the diversity committees are located under "Annual Reports to the Faculty Senate" (below). Annual reports from the Committee on the Status of Women are located under "Committee on the Status of Women" below.
