This committee shall be responsible for matters of policy regarding diversity and enhancement of diversity on campus. In particular, the Diversity Committee shall review course syllabi and evaluate whether courses fulfill the Diversity requirement based on their concern with issues of and/or theories of gender, sexual orientation, class, race, culture, nationality, religion, or ethnicity as these may be found anywhere in the world; as well as the individual course’s reflection on the challenges and benefits of dialogue across these differences and perspectives.
