Campus Climate Committee

Charge

The Campus Climate Committee identifies, and shares with the Senate, effective approaches to cultivating a culture of equity, inclusivity, and respect that enhance the success of all faculty within a pluralistic context. It will alert the Senate to issues on campus that require attention, and will make recommendations for how the Senate can be helpful in addressing these issues, in collaboration with the Provost’s office and the Provost’s Diversity Committee. This committee will work with the Senate Executive Board to plan and implement two mini-retreats a year (one in the fall and one in the spring) that aim to enhance campus climate at USC. Topics might include how to better recruit, retain, and support faculty from a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints; how to achieve equal opportunity for all in STEM fields; or how to help faculty to have difficult dialogues about culture in the classroom.

Specific Charge for the 2024-2025 Academic Year

The Campus Climate Committee will work with School Deans, Faculty Councils and senior administrators to ensure that faculty across the university have access to a repository of excellent resources to help them support equal opportunity and non-discrimination.
