The 10 subcommittees of President Clements’ Social Justice and Equity Task Force completed their research, and leaders of each subcommittee are presenting recommendations to the Council for Diversity and Inclusion (CUCDI) and the full Task Force.

The following subcommittees represent students, faculty, staff, alumni and community leaders:

• Academic Related
• Boards, Committees and Recognition
• Climate and Culture
• Communication and Incidence Response
• Faculty and Staff Recruitment
• Institutional Policies and Procedures
• Programming and Training
• Scholarship and Funding

“I want to thank each member of the task force for their contributions and for their important work being done on behalf of the University,” said Chief Inclusion and Equity Officer and Special Assistant to the President for Inclusion and Equity Lee Gill. “I continue to be extremely pleased with the progress.”

Once all subcommittee presentations are completed, the Council for Diversity and Inclusion (CUCDI) will develop prioritized action plans and present the overarching strategy to the University administration.
