The Presidential Task Force on Race, Ethnicity, and Community (2020) examined issues related to race, ethnicity, and community at the University of Georgia. The Task Force submitted to the Office of the President for consideration a number of concrete recommendations to improve the campus culture and strengthen the learning environment at UGA.
The Task Force was charged with developing initiatives and actions that UGA might implement during the current academic year to foster a more welcoming and supportive learning environment for Black and other underrepresented members of our campus community.
UGA President Jere Morehead committed $1 million of private resources to implement promising ideas developed by the task force.
Specifically, the task force considered strategies to:
Build community on campus
Elevate faculty, staff, and student recruitment and retention efforts
Expand training and leadership development opportunities
Increase fundraising
in support of diversity and inclusion
Grow alumni engagement
The task force initiated its work.
Final recommendations from the Task Force were submitted to the Office of the President for further consideration. Accepted recommendations will be announced by UGA in the coming months.
