Diversity charges
Significant progress has been made in addressing President Michael Rao’s directives regarding campus diversity since the passage of Proposal 2 in November 2006. All of his 22 directives that support the CMU Board of Trustees Dec. 7, 2006 resolution to enhance diversity at CMU have been addressed.
Dr. Denise O'Neil Green assumed the role of Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity in July 2007. She has been coordinating efforts to address the final directive of updating and implementing the university’s Strategic Plan for Achieving Diversity.
The purpose of this Web site is to communicate to the campus community the charges issued by President Rao and to provide a summary of the senior staff member's report to the president. The responses posted in the January 14, 2009 update have been received and accepted by the president. While several charges have come to their natural conclusion, others remain a part of CMU's diversity priorities, and therefore, are central to the institution's Strategic Plan for Achieving Diversity. In this final diversity charges update, the responsible officer/s share the status of a particular change at the conclusion of Fall 2008. In this report, the charges are in bold and updates are in blue type.
