As we enter this next phase of diversity strategic planning at Penn State, the
Challenges identified in the 1998-2003 Framework continue to provide a concrete
roadmap for achieving our diversity goals. To continue our diversity planning
through the next five years, we position the Challenges within four dimensions of
diversity which current scholarship suggests must be addressed in higher education.
These four dimensions provide a context for the seven Challenges and for developing
the 2004-09 diversity strategic plan.

Campus Climate and Intergroup Relations
Challenge One: “Developing a Shared and Inclusive Understanding of Diversity”
Challenge Two: “Creating a Welcoming Campus Climate”

Representation (Access and Success)
Challenge Three: “Recruiting and Retaining a Diverse Student Body”
Challenge Four: “Recruiting and Retaining a Diverse Workforce”

Education and Scholarship
Challenge Five: “Developing a Curriculum That Fosters Intercultural and
International Competencies”

Institutional Viability and Vitality
Challenge Six: “Diversifying University Leadership and Management”
Challenge Seven: “Coordinating Organizational Change to Support
Our Diversity Goals”
