A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:

Although UMD does not have programs that help meet this credit, much work is being done to help build a diverse faculty at UMD

Training & Development
UMD staff and faculty have participated in a training/orientation program presented by Alliance for Change. The goal of this program is to intentionally embed the values of social justice into the work and training of students and staff in Admissions, Housing and Residence Life, Athletics, Office of Cultural Diversity, First Year Experience and Students in Transition, Recreational Sports Outdoor Program, Kirby Student Center, Kirby Leadership Program and the new faculty orientation program.

In addition, the Faculty and Staff of Color Association (FSCA) was founded as part of UMD’s strategic plan to create a more diverse and inclusive campus in November 2013. Approximately one of nine UMD students identify themselves as minority, according to UMD’s Student Profile, which is available online. Minorities comprise 9.2 percent of faculty as of 2010, the most recent year the statistics were available. See https://bridge.wp.d.umn.edu/2015/01/mentoring-faculty-staff-of-color/
