Charter and Charge

Charter

With the advice of the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs and Diversity the committee forms task forces to consider diversity matters raised by committee members or Loyola campus constituencies. These task forces may study problems, propose and pursue special projects, convene meetings, and propose that the committee take specific action. Task force leaders are appointed by the Chair. Task forces are composed of committee members, and others as necessary to the task force's work.

Charge

Working in conjunction with the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs and Diversity, the committee provides campus leadership on diversity issues. These issues include: diversity in undergraduate and graduate student populations; curricular diversity in undergraduate and graduate programs; recruitment, mentoring, and retention of faculty of color; creating a campus climate that assumes, accepts, and engages diversity as necessary to the pursuit of the Jesuit educational mission; creating mutually supportive linkages, and enhancing the College's reputation, in Baltimore; creating mutually supportive relationships with other colleges and universities in the Greater Baltimore area; and other issues as they arise and complement the committee's charge. The committee reports annually, in writing, to the Conference.
