Syracuse University’s Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion task force will begin compiling its strategic plan for improving campus climate. SU’s Board of Trustees requested that the task force propose a strategic plan by June 1 for improving campus climate. The task force convened earlier this year to devise this plan, which will set long-term goals for the next five years and strategies for achieving them. The task force is currently in its “brainstorming phase” and plans to begin drafting the plan in May, said Shiu-Kai Chin, a professor of electrical engineering and co-chair of the task force.
