2025-2026 Ad Hoc Committee on Cross-Campus Equity in Student, Faculty, and Staff Experiences, Support, and Recognition

At its September 5, 2025 meeting, the Executive Committee approved the formation of an ad hoc committee to investigate Cross- Campus Equity in Student, Faculty, and Staff Experiences, Support, and Recognition.

The goal of the committee is to commission an investigation into whether and how Rutgers has been ensuring equitable experiences across campuses — whether students are afforded equitable experiences inside and outside classrooms, whether staff are provided with equitable support and opportunities for advancement, and whether faculty have access to equitable resources for the scholarly enterprises of teaching and research. This investigation should review address all areas of campus life, including but not limited to on-campus living and dining options, to cultural and community events on campus, to library and computing resources, to faculty start-up and other internal research funding.
