o:p> In March, 2003, t=
he
attached Diversity Framework (DF) was included as a supplement to the
University’s Strategic Plan. The strategies outlined in the DF were
recommended by a cross-campus committee and are meant as a guide to the
University for achieving its diversity goals. Last year as a result of
extensive discussions about recruiting a more diverse faculty, staff, and
student body, each academic department, school, and college was asked to
develop its own diversity plan. These initial steps are important, and we m=
ust
continue to move forward. In order to know
whether our individual department, school, or college plan has yielded resu=
lts,
I am asking that you meet with your faculty and staff; review your plan, no=
te
successes and approaches that didn’t work; summarize your results, an=
d provide
ideas you have for improving outcomes. I would like the written review
(Attachment 1) submitted to Jane Waters (jewaters@mtu.edu,
7-2440) no later than January 13, 2006. Your current
demographics for students, faculty, and staff are included in Attachment 2,
compiled by Institutional Analysis. Using this information, each college,
school, and department should submit a revised plan by February 1. Please u=
se
the format provided in Attachment 3, so that they can be easily combined to
compare strategies and measure progress. Attach any additional data or othe=
r information
that will support your current objectives and activities. I’ve also
attached a comparison of the University’s 2010 proposed undergraduate=
composition
by gender, race, and our current numbers (Attachment 4). In the future, a
similar document will be prepared and maintained for graduate students, fac=
ulty
and staff by gender and race. In addition, the
University is conducting an institution-wide Climate Study beginning in mid=
November.
The results will be used to update the Diversity Framework. The results will
also assist us in determining what areas of concern the academic department=
s might
need to address and will help identify some of our areas of strength, and
opportunities for accomplishing our diversity goals over the next few years.
Please encourage all of your faculty, staff, and students to complete their
surveys when they receive them. Please contact yo=
ur
dean or me with specific questions. Thank you.![](3D"diversityplanFINALmemowatchs_csa_files/image004.gif")
