President Taylor Reveley appointed the Task Force on Race and Race Relations in March 2015. The 21-member task force is comprised of faculty, administrators, staff, students, and a member of the Board of Visitors. The Task Force met once a month since March 2015, focusing primarily on four principal activities: 1) meeting to discuss current programs and practices at William & Mary, 2) hosting six on-campus open forums to discuss perceptions of William & Mary's racial climate, 3) reading and discussing the various communications from the community that were received via the Task Force's website (http://www.wm.edu/sites/racerelations), and 4) examining closely events related to race and race relations across the country, events taking place not only on university campuses but also in the world beyond academic institutions.
