4. FEA Role in the College Planning Process

5. Background A central goal of MSU’s ADVANCE grant is to institutionalize best practices for faculty recruitment, retention, & advancement. To achieve this goal, the Provost has heightened the focus on diversity within the Fall 2011 College Planning Process. The Provost has asked the deans to have FEAs work with them to develop a response to the Planning Requests. 5

6. 2011 College Planning Directive MSU’s commitment to inclusion and diversity is a hallmark value of the institution. It is important that college and unit- level policies and practices are aligned with MSU’s values of quality and inclusion and that there are effective structures in place to facilitate and promote the commitment to achieving excellence with diversity. Each college will be reviewed for some common indicators of success, including the number of underrepresented faculty members within your college, and their distribution across ranks. You are asked to identify and describe additional plans and indicators by which your college should be evaluated on progress toward diversifying your faculty. For your information, metrics about diversity among tenure-system faculty in your college since 2005-06 will be forthcoming 6
