Diversity Progress Update
Penn State has completed its review of the mid-point progress updates of "A Framework to Foster Diversity at Penn State: 2004-09," and final materials are now available on the Educational Equity Web site at http://www.equity.psu.edu/Framework/Updates/index.asp online. Documents include each unit update and the review team's feedback, with unit response if any, embedded in blue italics. Best practices identified by the review teams also are posted, as well as analysis indicating themes important to continued success. Penn State has more than a decade of experience in advancing its diversity goals through a strategic planning approach and a rich history in valuing diversity. While initial efforts were largely ad-hoc, a strategic planning approach was adopted in the 1990s, resulting in the five-year plan "A Framework to Foster Diversity at Penn State: 1998-2003." This approach has been institutionalized, and the University is currently at the mid-point of the second five-year plan "A Framework to Foster Diversity at Penn State: 2004-09." The Web site also contains links to background information on the development of the diversity strategic planning process at Penn State, unit plans under the 2004-09 Framework, and an archive of materials associated with the1998-2003 Framework.
