Faculty Diversity

Provost’s Excellence Through Diversity Initiative

Faculty are at the core of the academic mission and a resource that requires intensive investment of time with respect to recruitment, hiring, and retention. Our Strategic Plan reinforces this point when it emphasizes the importance of attracting excellent candidates to the institution and providing them an environment of support and growth opportunity. The Plan also emphasizes the importance of a diverse faculty, particularly with respect to race and ethnicity that is more highly reflected in our student body. Information on faculty employment can be found here.

Diversity is a form of excellence and we can do more to realize it here at ISU. Research is clear – heterogeneous organizations provide numerous benefits and for both majority and minority communities. Toward this end, Indiana State's  Excellence Through Diversity Initiative includes focused support for faculty searches and career support resources and programming designed to build distinctiveness externally about ISU and attractiveness as place to build/advance an academic career. One example is our National Teleconference Series. It is also designed to support our current communities at ISU.
