UW-Stout
University Budget Priority
1999-2000

University Budget Priority:          Diversity
Increase the proportion of diversity in students and faculty/staff.
Statement of the Issue:
The importance of recruitment and retention of a diverse university population including students and faculty/staff is increasing at a rapid pace.
ü The world is changing demographically.
ü University must respond to business and societal needs.
ü University must better prepare students to live in an increasingly diverse culture.
ü University benefits from a diversity of thoughts and experiences.
Proposed Process or Strategies:
  1. Evaluate UW-Stout's Plan 2008 recommendations.
  2. Review and prioritize use of current resources.
  3. Review use of recruitment and retention funds; use diversity as the primary goal in personnel funding.
  4. Hold centrally $10,000 as matching funds to augment the Stout Foundation's commitment of $30,000 for ten years; funds will be used to leverage additional gifts and grants from outside foundations and individuals intended to improve diversity at UW-Stout.
Implication for Resources:
Set aside $10,000 for Stout Foundation matching and leveraging.
Review and prioritize current use of resources.
