Diversity Definition
The meeting began with a discussion about the ISLO and how important it is to have a definition of “diversity” in place before there is the ability to measure outcomes.This led to a greater discussion of definitions, including the reference made on the wiki.Margaret handed out a copy of the CUNY definition along with Candice’s comments and ideas.Much discussion ensued.The inclusion of specific language about power differences and advantages of dominant culture seemed important to the committee.While there was also discussion of the many areas of diversity, it was also noted that most discussions begin with racial differences.The need for mo

Wow. The link Margaret mentions in her comments has an absolutely stellar definition of diversity: http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/diversity/definition.asp. Too bad we can't use it. However, we can definitely take ideas from it. I liked the following:
* Understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment.

* Practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own.
* Understanding that diversity includes not only ways of being but also ways of knowing;
* Recognizing that personal, cultural and institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others;
* Building alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination.

Margaret commented on Definitions of Diversity

(continuation)
Lane Community College has a statement that reads:
Lane's Vision of Diversity is to pursue a social justice effort that is inclusive not exclusive and that identifies "isms" that continue to exist. Diversity is about becoming a higher performing organization, which produces outcomes that serve the needs of a diverse college population.

Diversity is specifically defined in Lane's "Core Values," adopted in 2003 by the Board of Education as part of Lane's Strategic Plan to:

Welcome, value and promote diversity among staff, students and our community;
Cultivate a respectful, inclusive and accessible working and learning environment;
Work effectively in different cultural contexts to serve the educational and linguistic needs of a diverse community
Develop capacity to understand issues of difference, power and privilege.

Lane's diversity work is defined experientially by action, continuing support of best practices for diversity initiatives that maintain a strong commitment to equa

Margaret commented on Definitions of Diversity

I've included a link to the Oregon State University's student learning outcomes about diversity:

http://oregonstate.edu/dept/dpd/sites/default/files/Student_Learning_Outcomes_Relevant_to_DPD_Criteria.doc

I read some of their language at the meeting:
Courses have as their focus the study of the unequal distribution of power within the framework of particular disciplines and course content.

o The student will be able to demonstrate an understanding, and provide examples of the ways that difference, power, and discrimination occur given a particular subject matter and/or discipline.

Courses will provide illustrations of ways in which the interactions of social categories such as race, ethnicity, social class, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability and age are related to difference, power and discrimination in the United States.

The student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the effects of institutional discrimination on people and social groups.

IOU Committee Meeting
May 7, 2004
Library Conference Room
Attendance: Joanne Swenson, Bob Wilson, Melissa McLeod, Rinda Johansen, Candice Watkins, Moria Golub, Deac Guidi, Margaret Frimoth
After introductions, the conversation turned to the Photo Exhibit. Bob has the support of David Meyers and Lucien Swerdloff in developing the photo display project. He estimates the cost of a roll of luster paper at $200. Also need to cover the cost of ink, mats and frames. Lots of discussion about black & white photos vs. color photos. Color can symbolically represent vibrancy, something we would like the issue of diversity to represent. Black and while photos could create a symbolic statement about diversity as more than skin color. Ultimately, we agreed to begin with black and white photos because it is more cost effective. We want to establish the project and move forward quickly. The photo display can unfold in many ways once it is in motion.
