About the President's Council 

The President’s Council on Equity and Campus Diversity was established in 1996 at Buffalo State to address discrimination, harassment, and campus climate issues as it relates to the recruitment and retention of students, faculty, staff curriculum development, and student life on campus. The President receives and reviews recommendations from the Council. The Deputy Chief Diversity Officer provides administrative support for the Council.
