University Diversity Council

The University Diversity Council, established in 2004, serves as a broad-based advisory group for the President of Eastern Michigan University on issues related to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, the student body, the curriculum, the co-curriculum, and the University community in general. The overall purpose of the Council is to facilitate the institution's goal of being a "model for diversity and inclusion" by engaging in the comprehensive, systematic analysis of diversity issues, facilitating institutionally embedded diversity planning, and ensuring a vigorous and proactive stance toward curricular and academic diversity.

The University Diversity Council supplants the President's Commission on Racial and Ethnic Issues and the Diversity, Inclusion and Affirmative Action Strategic Planning Committee, and complements the ongoing programmatic activities of the Women's Commission.
