College of Arts and Sciences
Dean's Diversity Initiatives Committee (DDIC)

Dean’s Charge to the Committee

In 2010, Dean Nasser Momayezi charged the DDIC to take a holistic approach to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA). He enlisted the committee to define diversity in broad ways and to educate faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences about diversity. He tasked us to do the following:

• Explain why DEIA are important to the College of Arts and Sciences, in addition to devising techniques for how to implement and retain a more diverse College of A&S
• Explain how DEIA benefit/impact the mission of the College of A&S
• Examine policies, procedures, and programs in order to identify extant obstacles to DEIA
• Identify ways to remove unnecessary obstacles to DEIA
• Examine course offerings/programs to evaluate whether our offerings are appealing to diverse groups
• Identify the type(s) of DEIA in which we are most lacking in the College
