In 2012, the College released a report on the progress and challenges of implementation of the 35 recommendations outlined in the 2006 Human Relations Report on Diversity. All sectors of the College (Student Life, Human Resources, Academic Administration, and other areas) were engaged to assess their diversity efforts, as per the HRC recommendations, but also asked them to report on initiatives that were above and beyond what the 2006 report recommended. In 2016 the Alliance for an Inclusive Middlebury was formed and this group is assessing the recommendations from the 2012 report that have not been addressed.
