The Diversity Council and Its Members

History

The Diversity Council was established in 1996 under the name Cultural Diversity Committee. That committee authored the March 1999 report, Multiculturalism & Diversity at Minot State University: An Assessment in which it recommended that in order to “enhance multiculturalism and diversity at MSU” the institution should, “[u]tilize the Diversity Committee to encourage and establish additional opportunities for meaningful student to student interaction.” This report was submitted to the State Board of Higher Education in January 2001.

The committee was revived in the Fall semester of the 2002–2003 academic year as a standing institutional committee, and its name was officially changed to the Diversity Committee in the Fall semester of 2003. It became the Diversity Council in 2012.
