In his February 2006
installation address, and again
in his August 2006
convocation address, UNC
Charlotte Chancellor Philip L. Dubois highlighted
the importance of on-campus diversity in terms of
both strategic planning and integration.
Accordingly, the Chancellor appointed the Council on
University Community, comprised of members of his
Cabinet and chaired by Provost Joan Lorden. The
Council on University Community was given the charge
of leading diversity efforts at UNC Charlotte, and
advising the Chancellor of means to create and
sustain an inclusive environment that values the
presence of people with diverse backgrounds,
experiences, and ideas. The Council spearheads
initiatives that promote deeper understanding of
diversity issues and foster a sense of community
among faculty, students, and staff.
The University recognizes the range of factors which
contribute to campus diversity, including, but not
limited to ability/disability, age, culture,
ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, sexual
orientation, and socio-economic status. The work of
the Council on University Community will support all
underrepresented groups and advance the multiple
facets of diversity. |
