Committee on Diversity

The purpose of the Committee on Diversity is to carry on the work of the Diversity Task Force (Task Force's final report) by working with and encouraging planning schools to develop specific programs and incentives for increasing faculty and student diversity as well as expanding diversity in the curriculum. Included in the charge of this committee would be:

  1. to continue to assist programs in efforts to enhance faculty and student diversity;
  2. to assist programs in including diversity-related issues in curricular offerings;
  3. to provide reports back to the Governing Board in the fall of even- numbered years on the composition of faculty and students related to issues of diversity (using PAB and other data collected by outside entities); and
  4. to conduct other activities that could enhance ACSP's commitment to diversity in education and research.
