A brief description of the assessment(s):
The ETSU Commission for Women Standing Committee investigated the status of women on campus, both faculty and staff, and out of this survey came recommendations that were presented to the President's Council. They were accepted and the committee has proceeded with fulfilling them. They include such issues as: safety needs on campus such as better lighting in certain areas, and safety rides to parking lots; tenure process issues for women; expanding the scope of the Women's Resource Center; training issues; mentoring programs; work environment issues and child care needs. These recommendations have been revisited yearly since proposed. The Race Relations Standing Committee monitors the race relations climate on campus and makes recommendations for improvement through special activities/program recommendations and to provide support as appropriate. The Office of Equity and Diversity hired a consultant to access diversity needs on campus.
