Provides the President with recommendations germane to issues of LGBTQ, racially or ethnically diverse, and women-identified persons at Penn State
It is the charge of the commissions to provide to the President recommendations germane to issues of LGBTQ, racially or ethnically diverse, and women-identified persons at Penn State. Innovative, evidence-informed recommendations for the creation of an inclusive and welcoming campus climate are of particular interest.
The commissions are comprised of up to fifteen full-time University faculty, staff, students, and administrators. The commissions value the expertise and experience that can be found among the members of the University community; students (undergraduate and graduate), faculty, staff, and administrators from all Penn State campuses are eligible to serve. The President of Penn State appoints members.
