Council on Faculty Diversity and Inclusion
Boston University's Council on Diversity and Inclusion was established in 2006 to help lead the University's efforts to develop and sustain an institutional environment that attracts and supports a diverse faculty to our campuses in order to offer exceptional educational opportunities to our students. The Council will work with the Faculty Council, the leadership of our schools and colleges, the department chairpersons, and the senior administration to help the university create this environment.
Among the issues that the Council will address are the following:
- Advise the University on how best to insure that salaries, promotions and leadership opportunities are given to all faculty equitably on the basis of merit.
- Examine the policies and processes for faculty hiring and promotion at Boston University and make recommendations on how to improve faculty procedures to enhance the recruitment and retention of women and minority candidates.
- Recommend programs and policies that are sensitive to the need to balance an academic career with family life.
