Members also serve on the Chancellor’s Advisory Committees, as well as appropriate Faculty Council committees. The committee participates actively with the Office of Diversity Equity and Community Engagement (ODECE), as well as the Office of Faculty Affairs.

Committee Composition

The Diversity Committee shall have a minimum of eight faculty and two student members, and may choose additional members, subject to approval by the Executive Committee, to ensure sufficient membership to address specific issues and concerns as they arise.

Administrative Liaison

The administrative liaison for the Diversity Committee is the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement.

Interface with other Committees

The Diversity Committee shall interface with the ASC Diversity Committee on a regular basis, with a member of the ASC serving as an additional administrative liaison. As needs or opportunities arise, the Diversity Committee will invite members of other governance bodies and/or their relevant committees to attend Diversity Committee meetings as a non-voting resource member. (e.g., Diversity officers from Schools and Colleges).
