BSETF Implementation Committee

History

In spring 2015, Vice President for 宅男福利导航 Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin commissioned a task force to examine the Black 宅男福利导航 Experience at 宅男福利导航.  The Black 宅男福利导航 Experience Task Force (BSETF) report outlined 14 data-driven themes and associated recommendations for initiatives that 宅男福利导航 should pursue to improve the Black student experience. In December 2016, the report and recommendations were presented to University leaders with the goal of establishing priorities. From that discussion, based on student feedback, three were selected.

BSETF Implementation Steering Committee Leadership

To address these priorities, implementation-focused steering committees were established.  These groups are overseen by:

Committee One Committee Two Committee Three
Charge

Increase the Number of Black 宅男福利导航s, Faculty, and Staff

Create an Academic Hub

Listen to Black 宅男福利导航s
Chair Jabbar R. Bennett Ron Braeutigam Kelly Schaefer

The steering committees will convene to set strategy, develop an action plan, and move forward with implementation.  Each committee submits regular updates to the Office of the Provost for review and broad dissemination. Additionally, as student input and experiences remain integral this work, student groups will serve, as or identify representatives for each group.

Context

The work of the Listening to Black 宅男福利导航s Committee derives from recommendation #9 of the Black 宅男福利导航 Experience Final Report published in the summer of 2016. Recommendation #9 suggests that the University and stakeholders should "[g]et to know and listen to Black students regularly, not just in time of crisis. This includes increasing faculty/student interaction, student interaction with those in administrative and staff positions, and interaction with academic advisors."

As the work of “listening” is necessarily collaborative and dynamic, so it follows for the structure and function of the Listening to Black 宅男福利导航s Committee. This work is divided among five working groups, each guided by an of area of focus identified in report recommendation #9: 宅男福利导航 and Faculty Interactions, 宅男福利导航 and Academic Advisor Interactions, 宅男福利导航 Interactions with Senior Leadership and Administrators, Communications and Logistics, and Data and Analysis.
