PA-6: Support for Underrepresented Groups

Student Affairs runs ISUcceed and MAPS that conducts mentoring for black students.
Enrollment Management has the LEAP program that focuses on bringing underrepresented groups to ISU with more than a 2.7 GPA from high school.
Academic Affairs has Student Success and First Generation Program where they match first generation students with first generation faculty or staff for mentoring.
Academic Affairs also developed the University College that focuses on freshmen mentoring.
We have five affinity groups that focus on ethnicity: Black Faculty and Staff Caucus, Black Faculty Affinity Group, Black Male Professional Affinity Group, Asian and Pacific Islander Affinity Group, and Hispanic Organization for Leadership and Advancement.
We have more than 30 student organizations that are based on race, ethnicity, major, or special interest (such as religion or politics).

Fairness and Objectivity; the procedure, so far as possible, must protect the rights
of all involved.
ii. Promptness; the faster the complaint gets addressed, the easier it is to resolve. A
timely procedure benefits the acceptance of the resolution most readily.
iii. Confidentiality; staff should maintain great discretion, divulging information
concerning the matter on a need-to-know basis only.
iv. Notice; Once a person becomes the focus of a complaint or is identified as a part of
a resolution, that person must be notified of the complaint, the identity of the
complainant, and the nature of the complaint.
v. Thoroughness; the Office of Equal Opportunity is committed to the principle that
complete and accurate information should form the basis of responses to
complaints.
vi. Finality; those responding to complaints should communicate the results of their
investigations in a clear and timely way to provide a sense of completion. The
uncertainty and scrutiny of a discrimination complaint can be disruptive and
difficult for all involved to tolerate.
