The GSU Diversity Strategic Planning Committee updated the Plan based on many of your comments and suggestions. We heard you and acted. The Final Draft was overwhelmingly voted out of the Diversity Strategic Planning Committee, revised by the University Senate’s Planning and Development (P&D) Ad Hoc committee on Diversity Strategic Planning and unanimously passed by the University Senate on October 27, 2011.
