The scope for consideration includes hiring and advancement of faculty and staff, recruitment and support of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the content of the curriculum, and the climate of the department as a community. By engaging faculty, staff, students, and postdocs and pursuing this agenda on multiple fronts, the long-term goal is to effect change that is consequential and sustainable, fully integrating these goals into the departmental processes. 

For members of the department with questions/concerns/comments, please contact any of the following committee co-chairs:  Alex Macmadu (faculty co-chair), Patrick Riedy (staff co-chair), Margaret Dunne (doctoral student co-chair) or Amber Hall (postdoctoral co-chair).
