University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research

The Director's Advisory Committee on Diversity

Our Charge

The Director's Advisory Committee on Diversity (DACD) is made up of staff members and researchers from each of the five ISR centers plus ISR Central Administration. The committee meets monthly. Our charge:

  • To recommend policies and activities to the Director's Office that will raise the consciousness of all employees about the value of diversity in everyday work settings
  • To change practices in work settings, research programs, centers, and the Institute that detract from the positive gains from a diverse workforce and the valuing of diverse experience
  • To set practical timetables for achieving short-term and longer-term goals via policies and activities
  • To work collaboratively and in a complementary fashion with center-level initiatives that address diversity
