Students in the promotional writing class taught by Robert R. Basow, associate professor of journalism, expanded the project by contacting faculty teaching the courses and preparing course descriptions to include in the catalog. In 1993, as executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus, Edward L. Meyen established the Blueprint for Diversity committee to guide KU toward its goal of achieving an academic environment that supports and nurtures the needs of all students. The committee was asked to assess diversity at KU, to offer recommendations for increasing that diversity and to determine how to sustain it. One recommendation was to produce a guide that faculty and students could use to learn of courses that examine diversity. Although Think Community , may not list all courses related to multiculturalism, it includes a wide variety of topics, Thompson said.
