"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Does the institution have a diversity and equity committee?:
Yes

The charter or mission statement of the committee or a brief description of the committee's purview and activities :

The Presidential Commission on Diversity at St. Lawrence will be expected to study carefully the history and current situation of the university’s campus climate, measuring the many vital signs of diversity, whether strong or faint. The commission will invite wide and inclusive participation within the community, paying particular attention to the academic program as a core theme of the project. In addition, the many dimensions of student life and alumni engagement will be fully integrated into the new University strategic map. There is also a peer or national leadership role that St. Lawrence ought to play in this project, conceivably developing a model for structured institutional discourse at other places.
