The CODC seeks to promote a culture of inclusion and civility within the school, reviews school policies to ensure they are inclusive, contributes to the school’s annual diversity report submitted to the provost’s office, conducts and responds to climate surveys and organizes professional development workshops. It also works to increase knowledge and understanding of diversity issues, takes an active role in projects with a diversity focus and identifies opportunities to promote inclusion and civility within the school.
The CODC is a standing committee and chaired by an associate professor (research), full professor (research), associate professor (clinical) or full professor (clinical). It consists of one faculty member from each area of emphasis and center, the Division of Public Safety and Leadership, administrators and students.
