These consultants will recommend promising practices to help the college improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Last May,\u00a0CC announced funds to support\u00a0tenure-track\u00a0positions to diversify the curriculum and since then approved three positions, one\u00a0each in sociology, history, and film and media studies. The first two searches are finished; the third is underway.\u00a0Additionally, as suggested in the initial report, Provost Alan Townsend and Dean of the Faculty Sandra Wong are accepting proposals for post-tenure hires that would further diversify the faculty and curriculum. The Butler Center has initiated its fifth-year external review in continuation of its strategic antiracism initiative in diversity, equity, and inclusion work. In addition, the faculty are carefully considering the initial report as they move forward with the General Education review and revision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After the final external review report is received in May, the college will engage the expertise of the External Review of Racism Steering Committee \u2014 which includes alumni \u2014 and set up a timeline for implementation and assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger Worthington, of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education at the University of Maryland, spent all of Block 3 at CC last fall, conducting an external review on racism.
