From the President
Charge and Membership of the Affirmative Action Council, 1996-97
As the national debate over affirmative action policies continues, it is important that faculty, staff and students play an active role in shaping our
future course and implementing our policies. The University's Affirmative Action Council has ably carried out this responsibility for many years. I
have reviewed the charge and membership of the Council to ensure that it will be well equipped to handle its responsibilities during the coming year.
The Council's charge and membership for 1996-97 appear below.
-- Judith Rodin, President
Charge: The Affirmative Action Council is an advisory committee appointed by the President to review the University Affirmative Action Program,
to recommend changes when necessary, to develop policy proposals, and to monitor performance and progress relating to affirmative action throughout
the University.
In addition, the Council is charged by the President with oversight and coordination of the University's implementation of the Sexual Harrassment
Policy, the Guidelines for Addressing Academic Issues of Students with Disabilities, and the Non-discrimination Policy.
Members of the Council are appointed by the President for one-year terms, and include faculty, staff, and students. The Director of Affirmative
Action, administrators from the Provost's Office, Human Resources, and other University offices serve as ex-officio members on the Council. The
Chairperson of the Council is a tenured faculty member appointed by the President for a two year term.
