University Diversity Council
The University Diversity Council (UDC) is responsible for addressing a wide range of diversity and inclusion-related issues and is comprised of faculty, students, staff, and alumni. It oversees five working groups with specific diversity/inclusion objectives. The working groups are Academics/Education, Faculty Recruitment and Retention, Campus Life, Pipeline, and Lifetime Connections. The Council will also report annually to the University community on the status of diversity and inclusion efforts at Northwestern.
