At the request of the revising committee for the听Diversity, Inclusion and Academic Excellence Plan (DIAEP), CU 麻豆影院 Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement Bob Boswell today announced he has granted an extension to the posting of the plan鈥攐riginally scheduled for Sept. 17鈥攚ith community town halls set to begin immediately after publication.
A new posting date for the plan is targeted for later in the fall semester and will be announced soon.
鈥淭he extension allows the committee to more thoroughly explore the plan鈥檚 recommendations and their implications for new and existing policies, and to receive focused feedback from content experts on various aspects of the plan,鈥� said Daryl Maeda, Arts & Sciences associate dean and co-chair of the revision committee for the DIAEP.
Revising committee co-chair and Assistant Vice Chancellor and Deputy Chief Human Resource Officer Merna Jacobsen agreed, saying the extension would also 鈥渁llow the DIAEP revising committee to incorporate the community鈥檚 input on those aspects of the Academic Futures report that focus on diversity, equity and inclusion into its revisions of the DIAEP.鈥�
罢丑别听Academic Futures report听is currently under 30-day community review by the campus.听
Boswell supported the extension, saying it had the additional benefit of 鈥渇ocusing the campus exclusively on the separate input processes for Academic Futures and the Diversity, Inclusion and Academic Excellence Plan.鈥澨�
鈥淭his is too important a moment to rush the process,鈥� Boswell said.
