Announced by Donde Plowman, executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, the university has launched three diversity advocacy workgroups. The groups, each tasked with researching a specific theme, were created through recommendations made in a universitywide diversity and inclusion study completed by Halualani and Associates, a national research firm.
Students, faculty and staff have until March 30 to register to participate in a workgroup. Registration is available online.
The workgroup themes are:
Developing a curriculum that supports goals of diversity, equity and inclusion;
Recruiting, retaining and graduating a diverse student body; and
Recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and staff toward building an inclusive campus culture.
