Charge

This standing university-wide committee, functioning similar to the Academic Operations Committee (AOC) and the Graduate Operations Committee (GOC), will serve as an advisory body to the Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity. In addition, the Committee will be charged to:

  • Ensure that all existing and planned policies, operations, procedures, and all major plans for organizational change are pursued with careful attention to their impact on our diversity goals;
  • Ensure strategic coordination of university-wide diversity-related activities;
  • Consider processes for the collection of equity and climate data, diversity initiatives, as well as recruitment and retention strategies and outcomes; and
  • Consider means for enhancing the effectiveness of our collective diversity initiatives, taking into account best practices, and the distinctive cultures of our various units.
