U.S. Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings
has shifted her focus from K-12 to colleges and universities. The
Commission on the Future of Higher Education was formed to launch
a national dialogue to strengthen higher education and Spellings
is pushing for a major overhaul of financing, assessment, accessibility
and perhaps even coursework in higher education.
The final report (http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/reports/final-report.pdf)
argued that colleges and universities were not prepared for the
challenges of an increasingly diverse population. Therefore there
is a vital need for practical tools to identify and assess diversity
on campuses, including processes to identify strengths, weaknesses
and potential remedial steps. The First Annual Diversity in Higher
Education will explore issues surrounding development and implementation
of effective diversity practices and initiatives within educational
institutions.
