  • 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.
