I am one of the authors of the new diversity legislation being brought to MUSG in the next few weeks. The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) stated that Marquette had a "lack of progress on issues related to diversity and [a] lack of a university-wide diversity plan" and we hope to address this issue with our amendment.
The 'tl;dr' of the amendment is to create a new legislative position - and corresponding council - for Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice. The goal of this committee is to represent students who have concerns pertaining to diversity on campus and to be a powerful legislative voice for them.
With that, I have a few questions..
1) What is your opinion on the formation of this position/council?
2) What would you like to see this council accomplish on campus if this amendment passed?
