DIVERSITY COMMITTEE

The Division of Student Affairs (DSA) Diversity Committee is charged with promoting and enhancing the Division of Student Affairs' commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity and access (DEIA) and the Texas A&M Diversity Plan. The committee reviews relevant data to inform department and Division-level diversity policies, practices, and processes, as well as identifies and shares Division best practices. The committee works to ensure that evidence of the Division's diversity efforts are aligned with the university's Diversity plan and assessed and reported in a comprehensive manner.

GOALS

The committee has a three pronged foci:

  • Educational Opportunities: to provide educational opportunities with outcomes to increase staff abilities to understand, communicate with and effectively interact with people across racial, ethnic, and other social identities.
  • Engagement Opportunities to sponsor engagement opportunities to shift organizational culture toward more communication, connectedness, and support through respectful and purposeful dialogue and exchange about DEIA topics.
  • Accountable Practices to coordinate department level DEIA practices as part of current reporting practices and staff development as they relate to DEIA, and establish standard inclusive practices for recruitment, hiring, retention, and climate/well-being.
