Diversity Council
The mission of the diversity council is to drive strategy toward increasing ethnic diversity and inclusion and promoting understanding within the campus community and beyond. FIU's diversity council was established in the Fall of 2020 and is composed of faculty, staff, and students who make policy recommendations that includes timelines and measurable outcomes that reflect continuous improvement of campus climate and diversity and inclusion.

This plan is cemented on achieving excellence in three institutional goals: recruit, retain and develop a diverse community; Improve systems, policies and procedures to facilitate diversity; and to cultivate an inclusive and equitable campus climate.
