Diversity Action
Committee
The Diversity Action Committee is composed of a cross section of members of the academic and administrative divisions of the university and representatives of the student body. The committee exists to support the institution's Diversity Action Plan and makes appropriate recommendations for the success of campus-wide diversity initiatives to the Diversity Coordinating Council.
To further fulfill its mission to promote awareness and acceptance of diversity, the committee will:
- Identify barriers that may hinder diversity initiatives and develop a plan of action
- Support diversity throughout the curriculum and in campus events and activities
- Commit to recognizing, appreciating, and celebrating the individual and collective achievements of TU's diverse faculty, staff, and student body
- Facilitate and promote ongoing opportunities for public discourse relating to diversity
- Support the implementation of university-wide initiatives of the Reflective Process for Diversity
- Collect, assess, and disseminate data on campus climate and attitudes toward diversity
- Coordinate institutional efforts to address diversity and inclusion
