The President’s Council on Equity and Campus Diversity was established in 1996 at Buffalo State College to address discrimination, harassment, and campus climate issues as they relate to recruitment and retention of students, faculty, staff curriculum development, and student life on campus. The president receives and reviews recommendations from the council. The chief diversity office provides administrative support for the council.
