Diversity Council

The Diversity Council works to ensure diversity policies adopted by the State Board of Higher Education are implemented and observed on University System campuses. The council advocates for effective approaches to diversity issues and encourages campus diversity initiatives. The council also provides information about practices campuses can adopt to improve retention rates and ensure student success.

Council members are appointed by campus presidents. The chancellor also appoints an NDUS staff member and a liaison from the Chancellor's Cabinet, which is made up of the campus presidents.

The council meets quarterly either face-to-face or via Interactive Video Network. The council hosts a systemwide diversity conference every two years.

For a list of diversity events scheduled on the campuses, view the diversity calendar. For more information about a specific event, contact the Diversity Council member listed below for that campus.
