The motion was approved. Continued Discussion of Diversity Document B. Grey noted that he has become aware of the existence of listserves maintained by various professional associations that can be used as an additional strategy for diversity recruiting. The President requested that these listserves be made known to Jean Cousins or Frank Thomas so there is a central repository. The Dean noted that he has been working with Public Relations on copy for a large display ad which embraces both the larger institutional context and makes a positive affirmative action statement. He handed out a draft.
Comments are welcome.
The President suggested that Council exhaustively review the diversity document today and then remand the discussion to a subcommittee of Council to redraft the document. The President asked B. Voyles, K. Kamp, and B. Ferguson to reshape the document based on this discussion and circulate the revision to Council for further consideration. A lengthy discussion ensued.
