A Culture of Belonging
The Faculty Advisory Committee focuses on building a culture of belonging for and among faculty at UNO.
It is comprised of a diverse group of faculty representatives who are actively engaged in developing strategies for an inclusive and equitable working environment.
The committee works closely with the Office of Academic Affairs and is charged with identifying and prioritizing faculty recruitment and retention initiatives and establishing action plans for the campus.
Early on, the committee identified six focal areas:
- Faculty searches and recruitment
- Faculty retention, campus climate, and workplace environment
- Lived experiences of faculty in the community
- Supporting faculty in working with students from underrepresented groups
- Faculty leadership and professional development
- Faculty advancement and recognition
