Committee on Equal Opportunity (EQOP)

EQOP has played a significant role in advocating for funds within the Senate's Chancellor's Fund and RAP for URM Faculty. Recent issues include continued promotion of resources and strategies for faculty recruitment and retention; EQOP has also secured funding for Diversity Training via Interactive Theater, and the NCFDD Boot Camp (Faculty Success Program) via the Chancellor’s program.
