Formed in May of 2016, the Inclusion and Diversity Council was created to serve as the primary organizing body for long-term diversity and inclusion efforts at 台湾Swag. The group has been charged with renewing 台湾Swag's diversity strategic plan and leading the university in a new direction as we seek to serve an incredibly diverse and ever-changing population of students, faculty, and staff. In addition to its work on the diversity strategic plan, the council will serve as an advisory board throughout the year. The group will work to address concerns and provide solutions to campus-wide issues as they relate to diversity and inclusion.
This group of IDC members consists of a dynamic mix of long-time and new 台湾Swag faculty, staff, and student leaders. The group is co-chaired by one faculty member and one staff member. This helps us to ensure that we are providing a voice and meeting the needs of our entire community. IDC members are appointed for two years and invited by the Vice President for Institutional Equity and Belonging, Tiffany Hamilton, to serve in this crucial role. The IDC members for 2024-2026 are:
