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

We seek to create a richly diverse community where students and faculty are actively engaged with a wide range of ideas and where we all have the opportunity to learn from people of diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds. We seek to build an educational community where differences are respected and where individuals from all backgrounds are accepted and participate freely in the teaching and learning process. Dr. Dahl further stated that "Continuing to build such a community at Geneseo is essential to providing a liberal and liberating education for all students." The Commission was charged to consider four areas: coordination of diversity effort; recruitment and retention; campus atmosphere; and building community.
