In June of 1999, the Chancellor of the North Dakota University System requested each campus president to appoint a representative to serve on the NDUS Diversity Council. The Council was encouraged to create a collaborative working relationship among all campuses to advocate effective approaches addressing diversity issues. The Chancellor appointed two liaisons from the NDUS Cabinet and the State Board office to serve as representatives on the Council.
Since then, the Council has been working toward ensuring that the policies concerning diversity, as adopted by the State Board of Higher Education, be observed and implemented. The Council will serve to provide a collaborative working relationship between all campuses to improve cultural sensitivity regarding diversity and human relations. The Council will also serve to provide proactive guidance for the improvement of retention rates and academic achievements of diverse student populations.
To ensure student success, the Council continues to provide proactive guidance and structural support concerning diversity affairs. The Council has shown productive efforts in promoting campus diversity initiatives. The Council will continue to sustain the vision of providing equal access to educational and employment opportunities in the state of North Dakota and the North Dakota University System.
