About the DAC
Created in 1999, the Diversity Action Council (DAC) is commissioned by the President and Vice President for Global Diversity & Inclusion, and is comprised of PSU faculty, staff, and students. The DAC's role is to foster equity and social justice by reviewing PSU programs, policies, and decision making and developing recommendations that aid the university in our work to serve the best interests of our diverse constituents. DAC Members can serve in two ways: as a general member of the Diversity Action Council Main Body and/or as a member of one one of four DAC committees.
The DAC committees are responsible for reviewing current practice, researching best practices, and supporting the development of diversity education & learning -- all by working to fulfill their respective committee initiatives as outlined by the PSU Plan for Equity and Racial Justice. You can read more about the committees in the section below.
Being a general member of the main body of the DAC means you will be supporting the work of the council by providing leadership, insights, and guidance. Additionally, you may also be helping to facilitate and support additional equity and racial justice efforts like the President's Diversity Mini Grants Program and the PSU Culturally Responsive Symposium. DAC members are expected to attend bi-monthly council meetings.
