Diversity Plan:
2003 - 2005
Goal I: Climate
USM continuously strives to make the climate a welcoming climate
inclusive in its understanding and integration across multiple
dimensions of diversity, including but not limited to, diversity
based on race and ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation,
age, gender expression and identity, religion and class.
- The Registrar's Office will ensure appropriate training
and staff development for all staff, and will promote an
awareness and understanding of cultural differences and
sensitivity to working with underrepresented students.
GOAL II: Academic Experience
The USM academic experience, which includes both curricular
and co-curricular activities, increasingly reflects the multiplicity
and diversity of communities and cultures locally, nationally
and globally.

active outreach and recruitment. USM increasingly works to develop
structures and mechanisms that support the retention of all
students, particularly students of color and other underrepresented
populations.

student information to those schools, colleges and departments
requiring same for their diversity efforts.
- The Registrar's Office will ensure that all services

GOAL IV: Faculty and Staff Recruitment and Retention
USM strives to increase the diversity of faculty and staff,
