POLICY 3.5.1.2.5 - Charge


The primary focus of the committee will be to assist in fostering a culture of equity across the university. An additional interest is to ensure that individual faculty are treated with equity. To facilitate this, the committee will have access to top levels of SU administration up to and including the provost’s office and the president’s office. The specific duties of the committee are to:

  • examine all proposals coming out of the faculty senate with an equity lens
  • examine university policies and be advocates for fair processes
  • be available to advise university bodies on equity issues that affect faculty
  • meet with faculty who need support and advocacy during an equity issue. Protect the identity of faculty during this process.
  • meet with any university administrator when equity issues arise that warrant such a meeting. This meeting will be granted in a timely manner, and requests for identity protection regarding individuals involved in equity issues will be honored until such time as mutually agreed upon by both parties.
  • make recommendations regarding equitable resolution of issues to the appropriate parties.
  • submit a final annual report and recommendations, to be voted on by the Senate.
