| "Diversity is not about lowering standards; it is about creating ways for all students to meet the standards of academic excellence." Judy A. Green, 1995 |  |
| The draft diversity
plan for Wayne State College (1998-2002) has been developed and is
available for review by selecting "Diversity Plan" in the left column.
Named "Building Community," this plan demonstrates our commitment to preparing
our students for the multiethnic, multicultural ,and global society they
will be entering. In keeping with our college's goals and commitments,
we at The CITE are dedicated to addressing the issues of diversity, and
supporting and encouraging the members of our faculty to do likewise. Please
note that when we use the term "diversity," we are using it in a broad
context As a result, this section of the CITE includes information
not only on race and gender, but also students with disabilities, sexual
orientation, and religious and social diversity. This section of
the CITE has been designed to serve as a one stop source for faculty with
questions about diversity issues and teaching. Search this section
for information on everything from the legal statutes to on campus organizations
that can assist you with diversity issues.
Summary of information in the Diversity section: RESOURCES: Need to read the legal statutes for accommodating students with disabilities? What is the correct statement to put on a syllabus for identifying students with disablilites? Need statistics on families? How about guest speakers for your class? Check out the "resources page" first! CONTACTS: Need more help than you can find at the CITE? This link will provide you with the individuals to contact for assistance with diversity issues. DIVERSITY PLAN: Stay up to date with our efforts to "Build Community" at WSC. Read the basic plan, which includes the individuals responsible for each specific objective. You will also be able to access the specific plans for each objective as well as the progress and end-of-year reports. WORKSHOPS: Look here for information on workshops and diversity related events at WSC. FORUM: The contact Listserv for open discussion about issues regarding diversity. LESSONS
