The President’s Council on Institutional Diversity and Equity was created by President Richard L. McCormick in 2008, and charged with actively monitoring the university’s progress in diversifying its faculty and senior administration. The council provides guidance to chairs and deans regarding best practices in faculty hiring, retention, and campus climate and community and makes recommendations to President McCormick and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Philip Furmanski regarding proposals submitted under the President’s Faculty Diversity Cluster Hiring Initiative.
