Diversity Program Planning & Coordination, Advisory Committee on
Charge
The Advisory Committee on Diversity Program Planning and Coordination (ACD) began meeting in April of 2007. The purpose of the committee is to “assess the effectiveness of diversity efforts on campus, identify gaps in university diversity policies and efforts, develop new policies and initiatives as necessary, and ensure that units across the university are meeting diversity objectives.” This group meets monthly and also holds regular meetings with the chairs of the diversity committees of the various colleges and units on campus to collaborate and share information. We also meet with invited guests from the university and the Ames community to discuss our common interests in regard to diversity.
Activity
One of the major activities of the committee is the review of diversity reports that are submitted by the colleges and units. The ACD is also responsible for reviewing applications for the Diversity Grants program that is administered by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. The committee also supports diversity-related events and activities that occur across the university.
