December 2Staff Report UNM's Special Assistant for Diversity Robert Ibarra is creating an innovative "Blue Ribbon Committee," in which select faculty members will collaborate in addressing diversity issues in academic affairs on campus. The committee, whose members were picked to provide an accurate scope of the varying perspectives within the UNM community, "will work on a variety of diversity issues that include guiding special data reporting projects, enhancing traditional recruitment, promotion and retention activities, monitoring diversity tactics in the strategic plan, and advising funded research projects on diversity and promoting unique initiatives associated with a new multicultural model for diversity that is now emerging on campus," Ibarra said in a UNM press release.
