A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (UAF) is dedicated to developing a community of faculty, staff, and students whose composition mirrors the population of the State of Arkansas. Moreover, the UAF is committed to developing and institutionalizing a campus climate that is supportive of ethnic and racial diversity—a climate that also enhances retention of diverse members of the University community.
This annual report contains tabulations of the results of minority faculty and staff recruitment and student enrollments as required under Legislative Act 1091 (1999). For the purposes of this plan, “minority” refers to African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.
The University has also made progress pursuing the goals and objectives elaborated in its Minority Recruitment and Retention Plan, 2011-2016, which was filed with the Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) on June 29, 2011.
Progress in Meeting Minority Recruitment and Retention Goals, 2011 - 2012
The UAF has made considerable progress in meeting its minority recruitment and retention goals during 2012-2013. Following are more specific indicators of this progress:
Over the past decade the 2010 Commission issued a series of four reports that addressed the University’s commitment to minority recruitment and retention and tracked progress. In 2009 Chancellor Gearhart and the Chancellor’s Administrative Policy Council developed a new report which superseded the work of the 2010 Commission but was similar in intent. Providing Transparency and Accountability to the People of Arkansas reaffirmed and updated the University’s commitment to minority recruitment and retention. This document will be used in the coming decade and beyond to track implementation of our commitments.
