An announcement will be sent to all faculty each year as a reminder that this is a high priority. Beginning in the Fall 1995 semester a comprehensive program-wide review was initiated under the direction of Bill Hall. These strands are being developed as coordinated programmatic themes.
Diversity is one of the twelve strands identified.
These strands are being developed as coordinated programmatic themes. Diversity is one of the twelve strands identified in the 1995-96 review cycle. On a regular and ongoing basis faculty who work with large populations of minority students, primarily Indians, will take the initiative to share ideas, experiences, and insights with other faculty so that this understanding may be incorporated into all faculty teaching, and its values passed on to our students. After extensive formal and informal discussions throughout much of the 1994-5 school year a Diversity Position Statement was developed by members of the original diversity task force, was debated by faculty in general session, and was approved for use as representative of the department. This document embodies the attitudes, beliefs, dispositions and obligations we as a faculty believe characterize both our current position as well as our aspirations toward diversity, for ourselves and for our students.
