Working Groups

In March 2016, three linked working groups formed to study existing data and initiatives related to diversity and inclusion at Dartmouth, as well as best practices in higher education across the country. Each working group included faculty, students, and staff, including the administrative leaders primarily responsible for recruitment and retention in each area. 

Working Group Goals

  • Develop a process to better document current efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive community and enhance coordination throughout the institution.
  • Define clear goals, with metrics for monitoring progress.
  • Establish explicit standards of accountability, including mechanisms for transparency that track and communicate progress.
  • Propose short- and long-term institutional initiatives based on the evaluation of existing efforts and best practices.
