Overview of Diversity Plans: The University Perspective

Presentation 1

Presentation 2

In response to requests from trustees throughout the nation, ACCT hosted a two and a half day leadership institute for trustees and presidents that focused on college-wide diversity planning to foster diversity, inclusiveness, acceptance, and respect in a multi-cultural society.

This event was a unique opportunity for trustees and presidents to focus on proven practices that encourage engagement, examine values, promote respect, and celebrate differences — approaches that are imperative in today’s increasingly diverse community college settings.

The institute focused on proven practices, tools, and techniques that strengthen and help trustees carry out their leadership roles.

GOALS

The institute will equip trustees with the knowledge to:

• Examine the complexity of a multi-cultural community;
• Determine institutional effectiveness in serving historically underserved populations;
• Prevent and remedy prejudicial, discriminatory, or racist behaviors and policies;
• Ensure that students will succeed in an increasingly diverse world community; and
• Promote respect for all, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, age, or socioeconomic status.
