President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion

Historically, the University of Idaho has a progression of leading initiatives and practices that highlight not only its commitment to diversity, but the fundamental essentialness of diversity to the University's character–it's part of our central mission and obligation as a land-grant university and our status as a leading research institution. 

Some examples of how the University's commitment to diversity is demonstrated in tangible ways include the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, the CAMP program, the establishment of programs such as the Women’s Center, Multicultural Affairs, the LGBTQA Office and the Native American Student Center. We have certificate programs in Diversity and Stratification, as well as Global Justice, and have courses of study in Latin American and Native American studies. 

A fully committed and active Diversity Council will enable us to work towards a University of Idaho in which diversity is woven into all we do: in our courses; in our research; in the type of individuals we select as our students, faculty and staff; and in how we welcome and include diversity in our work places and our classrooms. 

We must demonstrate tangibly, with depth and breadth, the Goal Four Team's “Our Culture, Our Commitment” statement, which, says in part, that our “University is a nurturing place to learn and work, where people are engaged, friendly and helpful. We are committed to ongoing, honest self-examination of our current organization, culture and climate, and to continuous improvement in each these areas.”

This subcommittee examines current student recruitment and retention initiatives, developing recommendations for assessment, improvement and accountability. By highlighting culturally responsive strategies and barriers to the effectiveness of these strategies, this subcommittee better positions the University of Idaho to create an educational climate where diversity, inclusion and equity thrive to benefit all U of I students.

This subcommittee focuses on faculty recruitment and retention initiatives and hiring and promotional policies and practices. Its mission is to build and support a diverse administration, faculty and staff that will enrich the educational and work experiences of every employee and student by promoting an environment that is supportive and equitable in all aspects.
