We’re in the heart of the Mid-South with roots in the rich cultural mix of the Delta. We honor our past while looking to the future. We enjoy our central location but look to the world. We take pride in the diversity of our faculty, staff and students, while taking time to value each individual. We are a work in progress that’s been a century in the making.
Marking its first hundred years, Arkansas State University continues to expand in exciting ways. It’s growing to serve the region, state and nation – with a global perspective. By providing a solid educational base, the university prepares students for leadership as professionals and in their communities.
Arkansas State University developed from an agricultural school founded on April 1, 1909 by Act 100 of the 37th Arkansas General Assembly. It was created as one of four Arkansas high schools to teach agriculture, horticulture and the art of textile manufacturing. Today, the university grants bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees through 11 degree granting colleges. With cutting-edge research capabilities, Arkansas State is building on its first hundred years and looking to the future.
A-State aspires to be known by our commitment to diversity as evidenced by our inclusive work and learning environment, our acceptance of differences as positive and enriching, and our ability to attract, retain, and advance a diverse faculty, staff, and study body. Our actions are guided by the following Core Diversity Areas (DCAs):
Build new institutional diversity infrastructure
· Conduct a diversity climate survey to determine institutional priorities
· Establish a diversity council and affinity groups to provide opportunity for interaction and “free” expression
· Establishing procedures for requesting Diversity Office funds
Enhance structural diversity, equity, and success
· Institute a formal succession planning process to identify and prepare high-performing faculty to take on leadership roles (e.g., chairs, deans, etc.)
· Ensure faculty have the necessary KSAOs to move into upper level positions
· Work with student groups to ensure underrepresented students are on par with majority students regarding recruitment, retention, and graduation rates
Inform the search process
· Participate in various stages of the search process (e.g., reviewing applicant and interview pools) to ensure fairness and consistency
· Train faculty who serve on search committees on the search process and matters of diversity
· Develop a list of recommended recruiting sources to ensure a diverse applicant pool
Cultivate diversity awareness, recognition, and appreciation
· Initiate campus-wide diversity training
· Elevate diversity competence as one the faculty pillars of excellence
Interface with institutional accountability systems
· Advocate for diversity achievements in performance review process
· Outline diversity actions in annual reports
· Establish key employment ratios
Infuse diversity into the curricula
