These reports from the Implementation Steering Committee of the Next Generation of Faculty initiative track the university’s progress in meeting the transformative recommendations by the Commission for the Next Generation of Faculty to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in faculty recruitment, retention and engagement.
Report of the Commission for the Next Generation of Faculty as issued in 2019, with appendices and presentation slides from the September 4, 2019 campus town hall
The Office of the Provost held a Networking Reception for Underrepresented Minority Faculty on Oct. 22, 2019, giving an opportunity for faculty from underrepresented backgrounds to socialize, network, connect, and discuss and share ideas relating to a wide range of topics in recruitment, retention, engagement, promotion, research, teaching and more.
From Provost Wendy Hensel:
The Commission for the Next Generation of Faculty has completed its report and issued recommendations on ways in which Georgia State can improve its recruitment, engagement and retention of a diverse faculty. A key recommendation of the commission was to establish a steering committee to guide the implementation of the commission’s recommendations and facilitate the university’s progress on diversity and inclusion.
Toward this end, I solicited nominations of faculty to serve on the Implementation Steering Committee. This committee will provide advice, guidance and feedback to university leadership on how best to implement the commission’s recommendations.
