The Associated Students of Madison Student Council approved the creation of a special, temporary student committee to increase student participation on the drafting of a new campus diversity plan Wednesday.
The ad hoc committee was proposed as a means for students to directly work with the Campus Diversity and Climate Committee ad hoc committee that is charged with creating the university’s next strategic diversity plan.
ASM Diversity Committee Chair Mia Akers said the student committee will add more student voice in the planning process.
“The committee will offer a more holistic and active role for students in the creation of this plan and altogether will increase the quality of it,” Akers said.
The committee will consist of twelve students: four student appointees who sit on the CDCC, four representatives from the ASM Student Council and four students who Akers will appoint.
Council appointed ASM Chair Andrew Bulovsky, Devon Hamilton and Nico Magallon to the student ad hoc committee, and will appoint an additional council representative in its next meeting.ASM forms new committee to advise creation of diversity plan
