Bayh College of Education
DIVERSITY Task Force
Members of the 2009-2010 Cultural Audit Committee and Diversity Task Force meet for transition planning
On January 6-7 2005, faculty, staff, administrators, student representatives and external partners met in Nashville, IN to participate together in a Diversity Summit.
The purpose of the Summit was "to make clear our values surrounding and supporting diversity in all of our work in the Bayh College of Education (BCOE)."
The goals of the Summit were:
- To create a Diversity Statement that conveys the values and beliefs of the Bayh College of Education
- To create a Diversity Plan for the COE
The 54 participants included department chairs and faculty from all departments in the College, undergraduate and graduate student representatives from two departments, teachers and administrators from partner schools, administrative and support staff, the Dean and Associate Dean of the College, and the Provost of Indiana State University.
The retreat agenda included time for feedback on the current College Mission and Vision Statements and the development of diversity planning for each department. Participants were grouped in multi-department and multi-function groups the first day (i.e. participants were from different departments and had different roles in those departments), and in departmental units the second day.
