ASPIRATION
Faculty and staff are the University. The University must recruit, reward and retain the very best. The sine qua non of all faculty and staff at every level must be teaching and the support thereof in its diverse manifestations.
As institutions of higher learning, universities must push to the forefront diversity and inclusion initiatives by engaging students in critical thought education that pushes boundaries and encourages students to become, not just aware of, but compassionate toward those who are different from themselves. Today’s students come from a variety of ages, cultural, ethnic, inner city, rural and socioeconomic backgrounds. The diverse nature of this “new student” is pushing universities to be proactive in the ways in which they engage students.
