2011 College Planning Directive2011 College Planning Directive

MSU’s commitment to inclusion and diversity is a hallmark value of the institution. It is important that college and unit-level policies and practices are aligned with MSU’s values of quality and inclusion and that there are effective structures in place to facilitate and promote the commitment to achieving excellence with diversity. Each college will be reviewed for some common indicators of success, including the number of underrepresented faculty members within your college, and their distribution across ranks. You are asked to identify and describe additional plans and indicators by which your college should be evaluated on progress toward diversifying your faculty. For your information, metrics about diversity among tenure-system faculty in your college since 2005-06 will be forthcoming
