Campus Diversity Initiative
In June 2003, the James Irvine Foundation awarded California Lutheran University a $400,000 grant as part of the foundation’s Campus Diversity Initiative (CDI) to “help institutions to prepare all students for leadership in a diverse society and promote the success of underrepresented student populations.” As part of the CDI, each institution was asked to establish a diversity plan with a detailed evaluation component.
In February of 2004, California Lutheran University submitted to the James Irvine Foundation and to the CLU community a report that included the institution’s diversity plan, a diversity profile for the institution, and an assessment of the challenges, obstacles and lessons learned as a result of the process.
This January 2006 report offers a progress report on CLU’s third-year efforts to diversify the campus through the implementation of the diversity plan created in 2003-2004. The report will provide the Irvine Foundation and the campus community with a summary of the implementation process, including:
- A catalogue of the challenges and successes of implementation;
- A status report on each of the objectives, goals and strategies specified in the diversity plan;
- An examination of changes in the baseline measures for assessing progress; and
- A discussion of lessons learned, future directions and modifications to the diversity plan
