The third finalist for University of Iowa president says that without a diverse and inclusive environment, the work that needs to be done at the UI and universities across the country won’t get done successfully.
Georgia State University Provost Wendy Hensel is on campus to meet with the community through today. She pointed out recent internal promotions that have gone from interim to permanent without campus input, saying that it doesn’t bring the legitimacy that a national search would bring.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that Hensel described firsthand experiences with that subject duringher time at Georgia State. She said the campus community was “furious” when they appointed a new president of Diversity Equity and Inclusion before a task force tackling the appointment had finished its work.
