This will empower our campus community members to learn and grow as we appreciate our value in an ever-changing global community.
To do this the Council will:
- Identify ways that the FSC community can educate its members about racial inequality and social injustice;
- Support actions that the FSC community can pursue to be positive voices for justice, inclusion, and peace;Support actions that the FSC community can pursue to be positive voices for justice, inclusion, and peace;
- Through the Councils’ Committees, include students, faculty, staff, and alumni leaders in plans to develop a deeper understanding of race bias and strategies for reducing it;
- Oversee plans to educate students, faculty and staff about issues relating to racial inequality and social justice; and
- Provide an evaluation assessment to measure FSC’s progress.
The outcomes of this Council will build a college community that serves as an exemplar of educational opportunity and success for students of color and will develop high-impact practices that will be a model for other institutions.
