Charge

To proactively and systemically address strategic issues of critical importance to develop and maintain a welcoming and inclusive campus at UTSA.

- Assist the Vice President for Inclusive Excellence in establishing and maintaining a framework for inclusive excellence at UTSA
- Identify challenges and provide recommendations to UTSA’s senior leadership
- Review and recommend changes to processes and policies as needed
- Monitor progress of committees and report to stakeholders at regular intervals
