Diversity Vision
Purdue College of Science's core value is the belief in collegiality, professionalism, and mutual respect. These beliefs are central to developing positive relationships among members. We envision a College of Science community that is composed of faculty, staff, and students with diverse perspectives and experiences based on-among other factors-race, ethnic heritage, socioeconomic background, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. We value a culture that nurtures nationally underrepresented groups such as African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, and women.
Diversity Goal I
1. Build a community within the College of Science reflecting the diversity of Indiana and the nation in which underrepresented groups achieve a self-sustaining critical mass of successful faculty, students, and staff.
The College of Science will annually commit funds to enable the hiring of "targets of opportunity" to increase the diversity of our faculty and explore programs to aid recruitment.
Each department will be required to develop a written plan for achieving diversity for their Department.
Departments will be required to develop and implement programs aimed to recruit and retain underrepresented faculty, staff, and students. Expect family issues to be addressed in order to retain students, staff, and faculty.
Improve the climate for underrepresented faculty, students, and staff
