    Transforming the University: Report of the Systemwide Academic Task Force on Diversity
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-02-03) Mendoza, Louis; Taylor, Ann; Weissbrodt, David
    The principal vision of this report is found in Recommendation #2: In order for the University system to achieve its goal of becoming one of the top three public research universities in the world, the University must re-align institutional priorities and accountability measures with diversity as the priority for the University system, and not just a priority. To achieve this goal, recommendation #3 states: The President’s Office and all senior administrators, including deans and department heads, must articulate a systemwide vision of diversity that includes specific goals tailored to each campus or unit, as well as a clear plan for implementation, resources, and accountability. As Recommendation #7 states, this vision should guide “every unit and every person across the system [to] understand that diversity is their responsibility.”
