A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
1. There used to be an EO/AA Committee five years ago. Due to the transitioning of UTPA to UTRGV, the decision was made to postpone new appointments until after UTRGV came into existence. I am considered the EO/AA Coordinator for UTPA. I oversee the Affirmative Action Plan, faculty recruitment initiatives, compliance trainings and policies on nondiscrimination and investigations. I must make it clear that my focus is not on diversity but rather equal opportunity. For UTRGV, Dr. Ala Qubbaj has been named as the Diversity Officer – specifically for faculty issues.
