Our committee has taken as its mandate the institutionalization of 
diversity concerns at every level of department organization, in 
committee mandates, in promotion and tenure policies, in program 
decisions, admissions policies, hiring practices, etc. We are working 
through these one by one and trying to identify specific places where 
either diversity language or specific practices can become part of the 
regular, everyday life of the department, or can be protected where they 
already exist. Hope this helps.
