Community Legacy Movement with Chancellor Vanderhoef
April 3, 2001
Chancellor Vanderhoef met with the Constituent Group Chairs (of which HSA is a member) to address staff and faculty diversity on January 26, 2001. The Group Chairs has responded with a Thank You Memo (PDF), as well as a set of recommendations for the University to target. Some highlights:
1. Develop a standard recruitment/hiring process that attracts talented, knowledgeable staff/faculty/students who embrace the values of our "Principles of Community"; including increasing staff outreach, recruitment and retention efforts targeting underrepresented groups at all levels.
2. Improve the campus climate in a way that acknowledges and respects the diversity of our students, staff and faculty.
3. Create avenues of communication across all levels of the university, which includes sharing of information between the administration and Constituent Group.
The full document is available as a PDF file.
The idea for the meeting occurred shortly after the Chancellor's annual Convocation lunch. The Constituent Group Chair thereafter proposed the Community Legacy Meeting (PDF) to address some of the issues the Chancellor raised in his Convocations speech.
