FEA Role in the College

institutionalize best practices for faculty
recruitment, retention, & advancement.

To achieve this goal, the Provost has heightened
the focus on diversity within the Fall 2011
College Planning Process.

The Provost has asked the deans to have FEAs
work with them to develop a response to the
Planning Requests.

2011 College Planning Directive
MSU’s commitment to inclusion and diversity is a hallmark
value of the institution. It is important that college and unitlevel policies and practices are aligned with MSU’s values of
quality and inclusion and that there are effective structures in
place to facilitate and promote the commitment to achieving
excellence with diversity.
Each college will be reviewed for some common indicators of
success, including the number of underrepresented faculty
members within your college, and their distribution across
ranks. You are asked to identify and describe additional plans
and indicators by which your college should be evaluated on
progress toward diversifying your faculty. For your information,
metrics about diversity among tenure-system faculty in your
college since 2005-06 will be forthcoming
