Presidential forum on Diversity
April 27-28, 2009: The Liberal Arts Diversity Officers (LADO), in collaboration with the Center for Institutional and Social Change, convened a presidential forum on diversity.
This forum, hosted by Williams College and facilitated by Susan Sturm and Lani Guinier, brought together the presidents, chief academic officers, and chief diversity group of nine liberal arts colleges to discuss: (1) the frameworks or strategies for advancing diversity as a transformational concept and a core value, (2) how to build collaborations and sustain innovation in difficult economic times, and (3) how this “constitutional moment” can be used to create a strong foundation for advancing these values.
