#3. Develop comprehensive pipeline programs
•Partner with underprivileged school systems
•Identify programs other than STEM
Pipeline programs, which are typically designed to prepare people of color for careers, are critical in every discipline if we are going to be successful in increasing ethnic diversity in all professions. The process of academically and ethically preparing students for careers serves a very important function of providing hope and preparing them to become responsible citizens and leaders.
#4 Mandate Training and Development for the entire campus community
•Addressing issues of cultural differences
•How to improve campus culture
•Embracing Diversity
•Understanding Micro-aggression
Providing training to the entire campus community is essential to combating issues of racism and perceptions of social injustice. Offering the training on a voluntary basis really only gives lip service to a problem that deserves much more attention. Within our educational institutions it is not only imperative to understand differences between staff, faculty and students but it is also an essential part of building a cohesive community.
