Where we are
Future steps?
Faculty


Regular faculty
No CCT search authorized since 1998
no signs of a search -> not a route to more faculty diversity; 2014 search for 50% position--no finalists of color

Except CCT interests were tacked on to Teacher Ed search in '04 -> JA-V hire. JA-V was able to w'draw from CCT when NLG was hired full-time for 04-05.


Denise P interested to teach in CCT -> brought in when a course opening occurred (EDCG647/CCT630 -- NLG had 1st dibs on this)
EDCG647/CCT630 to be offered every 2nd year

Larger set of synthesis advisors/readers recruited (which include faculty of color), but students not using these faculty.
revitalize this. collaborate with LTET faculty.
Part-timers
2-4 face2face courses/year, w/ 1 having faculty of color as co-instructors

Other contributions from other courses?
new readings in other courses? guests?
Support
Synthesis completion & graduation rate has dropped since '03, esp. in students of color -> Support to Completion
Stricter admission standards?

Writing Support (grad. assistant in 08-09; support group in 09-10)
continue & recommend participation to students who need more writing support
Teacher-student interactions

Transmit feedback to colleague in question? Or cut off feedback & insist that student approach the faculty member directly?
Personal audit of cross-cultural/cross-racial relations in the classroom and other aspects of our courses
Larger plans
AQUAD plans (since '00) specify a str. planning process around enhancing diversity, but hasn't happened
