Missy Rock mrock@gladstone.uoregon.edu: Coordinating Intern Charge: Keeping connected, outreach/ coalition building documentation/ "paper trail"

• Create a central mission/vision of campus diversity.
• Create a central an inter-group body to facilitate exchange among various groups and organizations already addressing diversity issues.
• Continue to document the structures, works-in-progress and goals of the UO concerning campus diversity.

• Created a video over the summer to be used in stimulating and facilitating dialogue in orientation, classroom, department settings. Video was presented at the Department Heads Retreat in September.
• Copies of the video, and supporting materials (e.g. discussion questions), to be made available at places of resource such as the IMC and TEP office.
• Worked on a draft of a proposed "Pledge of Respect." Draft needs to be circulated and discussed for "trial period" by as many people as possible over the 1999-2000 academic year.

• Vice President of Student Affairs
• Associate Vice Provost/President for Diversity
• Multicultural Center Director.

• Imperative need for a resource center to provide support services and training for students faculty and staff.
• Connected to the resource center: a research institute doing applied and theoretical research while collaborating with the support service side creating the only center of its kind.
• This center needs to be a place that is integrated with every level of the university helping to reach every school and office.

• Facilitating communication: e.g. Communicate what types of diversity-related activities are already being implemented; create a diversity webpage acting as a clearing house for diversity information.
• Monetary support/grants for diversity: e.g. Award and recognize faculty, staff, students, departments, schools, offices, and administrators for their contributions to diversity on campus with recognition and a monetary award at an awards banquet or diversity conference.
• Improve efforts to recruit students from underrepresented groups (e.g. hire admissions officers to specifically recruit members of such groups); improve support services to retain such students (e.g. create mentoring programs, a Multicultural Study Hall, an "Intrusive Advising" Model)

• Institutionalize diversity immersion for all students attending IntroDUCKtion: appoint steering committee of staff, students, and other interested parties to formulate an agenda for IntroDUCKtion 2000 with Orientation Director.
• Create Student Diversity Speakers Bureau
• Work with Residence Life to develop diversity programs for first two weeks of classes. A Week of Welcome assembly in Mac Court could introduce all students to the Pledge of Respect and/or other diversity issues.

• Departmental based dialogues: an individual department understands the status of diversity issues within their own department better than anyone else does. Utilize this local knowledge and help keep it focused and well-directed with guidance from outside facilitation.
• Use of resources available at the UO: e.g. Office of Human Resources, Teaching Effectiveness Program.
• Institutional Support: University community members are looking for Administration to make it apparent that diversity; is a priority at this institution.

• A common course evaluation to be used by each dept. consisting of the 2 required questions, the 2 new questions approved by the Senate in 1998, and questions designed by a committee of faculty, students, administrators to assess the professor's commitment to diversity.
• Improve visibility of diversity programs and issues via WWW as well as written publications.
• Develop a multi-perspective educational course that would address issues of social and cultural diversity.

• Main goal: Change campus climate by setting clear standards for administrative response to bias related crimes (BRC).
• Create a bias response team that would intervene in crisis moments; act as an immediate and ongoing support system for targets of BRC; create opportunities for dialogue; document information of incidents in order to dismantle discrimination more effectively.
• Educate campus community about BRC through preventative programming.
