Mission Statement
“The mission of the 91探花Minority Community Advisory Committee (MCAC) is to advise the University President on special issues facing the 91探花 and to assist in strengthening and maintaining University connection with the communities of color, with special attention but not limited to the advancement of University diversity efforts and programs.”
About the President’s Minority Community Advisory Committee
The President’s MCAC was established by past President Richard L. McCormick in August 1997 to advise him on important questions and diversity issues facing the 91探花聽(UW). The MCAC meets with President Ana Mari Cauce three times per year with special meetings called if needed.聽Issues that have been discussed in the past include: undergraduate and graduate admissions and enrollment, minority faculty recruitment and retention, 91探花communications with minority communities, outreach efforts to schools and community colleges, student financial aid, and faculty and staff diversity at the 91探花.
The current membership is composed of representatives from minority communities in our state and 91探花 administrators who regularly attend the meetings.聽In addition, other university officials may be invited to attend meetings as resource persons or to give presentations on topics of special interest. Members of the committee who are elected officials have designated alternates who attend meetings when they are unavailable.
