Does the institution have a diversity and equity committee?:
The charter or mission statement of the committee or a brief description of the committee's purview and activities :
The Chancellor's Advisory Committee for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was formed in 2009, transitioning from acting as The Inclusive Community Task Force begun in 2008 to investigate diversity issues at UNCG. In 2009, the committee was asked to identify two to three initiatives based on the data collected from two years of panels and open forums. The Chancellor requested that this group submit recommendations in the form of a proposal with a budget for her review and approval. In addition, the Chancellor requested this group to consider carefully the title for a senior position that would provide leadership for the Office of Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion. Finally, this group was requested to determine what current programs on campus might be ideally placed under the administration of this office.
In the spring of 2010, the Chancellor announced that she had secured permission and support to begin a search in the 2010/1011 academic year for an Associate Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. At the conclusion of the 2009-10 academic year, the members of the Advisory Committee recommended to the Chancellor that the following three initiatives be further examined and delineated such that they can be fully underway at the conclusion of the 2010/2011 academic year:
1. Expansion of university support services to include GLBTIQQ students, faculty, & staff;
2. Expansion of retention & recognition efforts regarding students, faculty, & staff with a particular focus initially on staff members; and
3. Review & potentially revise hiring policies & practices to ensure greater diversity in administrative positions at UNCG.

Does the institution have a diversity and equity office?:
A brief description of the diversity office:
Currently there are no employees that work directly for the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. However, the University is in the process of searching for an Associate Vice Chancellor to head the office, who will in turn staff the office as necessary. In March 2011, due to severe budget cuts in the state university system, this search was put on hiatus. Once funding is available for the position the search will resume.
