President's Diversity Council Action Plan
After wide consultation, the President's Diversity Council (PDC) drafted an action plan to address concerns brought forth by the Black Student Union and others about campus climate. Six teams were deployed to research and implement initiatives. They are: Student Feedback and Involvement, Education and Awareness Training, Policy and Process, Data Collection and Campus Climate Survey Results, African American Student Resource Center Models, and Faculty and Staff Diversity. The PDC will post action plan status updates to keep students, faculty and staff informed.
