data-header="content"> <div class="rich-text" data-content="introduction"> <p>In spring 2020, in light of increased social unrest, the administration reached out to Black students to be in community with them. They have met together frequently since then. In fall 2020, the group of Black student leaders prioritized critical issues and goals, based on four years of research and current issues, and partnered with the administration to address them. The administration appreciates the students’ work and plans to provide regular updates while moving forward to address the issues identified, clarify requests, and examine institutional processes and policies. Some issues pose more challenges to implementation than others, but in all cases, the university will continue to work with students to understand the genesis of the concern and propose actionable solutions together. This page will be updated to include a timeline.</p> <p>There is, of course, additional work that needs to happen; this is part of an ongoing effort to make our community TerrapinSTRONG. While this group is dedicated to addressing anti-Black racism, we also remain focused on advocating for social justice for any member of our Terrapin family who faces inequities and bias.</p> <p>The critical issues identified below are the most salient concerns and priority issues the student leaders want the university to address. Students made recommendations for a campus response with the understanding that each will need to be reviewed with the responsible office(s). The process for review will be iterative, consultative, and will involve students, faculty and staff.</p> </div> <div data-content="organizations"> <h2 data-organizations="heading" class="small-san-serif"> Invited Student Organizations </h2> <organizations-list> <div data-content="organizations-colummn"> <p> Afrochique at University of Maryland </p> <p> Black Honors Caucus </p> <p> Ethiopian & Eritrean Students Association </p> <p> Multicultural Greek Council </p> <p> Student Success Leadership Council </p> <p> Charles R.

As of April 2024, 32 faculty members (19 assistant professors, nine associate professors and four full professors) from underrepresented populations have been hired through the FAMILE initiative. This is more than a 50% increase since last reported on this site. This hiring initiative will continue.</p> <p dir="ltr">The number of tenured/tenure track faculty who identify as Black/African American has increased from 89 in Fall 2022 to 103 in Fall 2023, for an increase of 15.7%.

The Division of Student Affairs (DSA) has formed a workgroup with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) to review DSA policies and protocols involving bias and hate incidents and work to establish a common language amongst all DSA departments. The workgroup has created the DSA Hate-Bias Response Guide which will assist departments in educating employees about free speech protections, enhance awareness, and quicken response time on staff addressing hateful speech and instill the responsibility of reporting unwanted behavior and actions that oppose our campus values. This guide has been widely distributed across campus. DSA and the Bias Incident Support Services (BISS) will continue to work in collaboration to offer educational opportunities for staff and students to increase their understanding of freedom of speech, student activism, BISS services, and hate-bias incidents. DSA will also continue to be in partnership with Academic Affairs to keep them informed of the development of our policies to aim for uniformity, including updated chalking and posting policies. BISS also has a Hate-Bias Response Team Student Advisory Group, which advises and provides recommendations to improve the overall effectiveness of BISS.<strong> [Sustained Commitment]</strong></p> </div> </umd-modal-content> </umd-modal-layout> </umd-modal> </issues-card> <issues-card data-content="progress-on-going"> <div data-card="details"> <div data-issue="header"> <p data-issue-header="index" class="large-san-serif"> <span aria-hidden="true">05</span> <span class="sr-only">Critical Issue #5</span> </p> <h3 data-issue-header="title" class="small-san-serif"> Increase the number of BIPOC counselors represented within the Counseling Center and Health Center, especially those with experiences with discrimination. </h3> </div> <div data-issue="partners"> <p class="extra-small-san-serif"> Responsible University Partner </p> <ul> <li>Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs</li> </ul> </div> <div data-issue="status"> <p data-issue-status="title" class="extra-small-san-serif"> Action Status </p> <p data-issue-status="icon"> <span data-icon="on-going" aira-hidden="true"> <svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g> <g transform="translate(-6.000000, -6.000000)"> <path d="M14,8 L14,11 L18,7 L14,3 L14,6 C9.58,6 6,9.58 6,14 C6,15.57 6.46,17.03 7.24,18.26 L8.7,16.8 C8.25,15.97 8,15.01 8,14 C8,10.69 10.69,8 14,8 Z M20.76,9.74 L19.3,11.2 C19.74,12.04 20,12.99 20,14 C20,17.31 17.31,20 14,20 L14,17 L10,21 L14,25 L14,22 C18.42,22 22,18.42 22,14 C22,12.43 21.54,10.97 20.76,9.74 L20.76,9.74 Z" transform="translate(14.000000, 14.000000) rotate(45.000000) translate(-14.000000, -14.000000) "></path> </g> </g> </svg> </span> <span>Sustained Commitment</span> </p> </div> <div data-issue="date" class="extra-small-san-serif"> <span data-issue-date="title">Last Updated:</span> <time datetime="2023-04-19T15:03:50-07:00"> Apr 19, 2023 </time> </div> </div> <button data-card="open-modal" data-modal-target="issue-card-5"> <span data-icon="open" aria-hidden="true"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="32" height="32" viewBox="0 0 32 32"> <path d="M31 12h-11v-11c0-0.552-0.448-1-1-1h-6c-0.552 0-1 0.448-1 1v11h-11c-0.552 0-1 0.448-1 1v6c0 0.552 0.448 1 1 1h11v11c0 0.552 0.448 1 1 1h6c0.552 0 1-0.448 1-1v-11h11c0.552 0 1-0.448 1-1v-6c0-0.552-0.448-1-1-1z"></path> </svg> </span> <span aria-hidden="true">View Actions</span> <span class="sr-only">View Actions for Increase the number of BIPOC counselors represented within the Counseling Center and Health Center, especially those with experiences with discrimination.</span> </button> <umd-modal data-card="modal" id="issue-card-5"> <umd-modal-layout> <umd-modal-content> <button name="close" aria-label="Close Modal for Increase the number of BIPOC counselors represented within the Counseling Center and Health Center, especially those with experiences with discrimination."> <span aria-hidden="true"> <svg class="x-svg" style="enable-background:new 0 0 512 512;" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 512 512" xml:space="preserve" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <path d="M443.6,387.1L312.4,255.4l131.5-130c5.4-5.4,5.4-14.2,0-19.6l-37.4-37.6c-2.6-2.6-6.1-4-9.8-4c-3.7,0-7.2,1.5-9.8,4 L256,197.8L124.9,68.3c-2.6-2.6-6.1-4-9.8-4c-3.7,0-7.2,1.5-9.8,4L68,105.9c-5.4,5.4-5.4,14.2,0,19.6l131.5,130L68.4,387.1 c-2.6,2.6-4.1,6.1-4.1,9.8c0,3.7,1.4,7.2,4.1,9.8l37.4,37.6c2.7,2.7,6.2,4.1,9.8,4.1c3.5,0,7.1-1.3,9.8-4.1L256,313.1l130.7,131.1 c2.7,2.7,6.2,4.1,9.8,4.1c3.5,0,7.1-1.3,9.8-4.1l37.4-37.6c2.6-2.6,4.1-6.1,4.1-9.8C447.7,393.2,446.2,389.7,443.6,387.1z" /> </svg> </span> </button> <div data-modal="header" class="small-san-serif"> Increase the number of BIPOC counselors represented within the Counseling Center and Health Center, especially those with experiences with discrimination. </div> <div data-modal="body" class="rich-text"> <p>The counseling center and behavioral health services of the health center have always been intentional in keeping diversity considerations central to any hiring decisions.

The University of Maryland has implemented many new efforts and programs to build strong partnerships with Prince George's County and Washington DC to recruit Black students.</p> <p dir="ltr">While the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (OUA) is not allowed to establish numeric enrollment goals by race, and abilities were further hindered as a result of the Supreme Court Decision from June 2023, it is the university’s clear intention to improve the recruitment, admission, and enrollment of African American students from our home county. While there is much work to be done, the previous and current efforts have begun to have an impressive impact. From the fall of 2017 to the fall of 2023, the number of Black/African American freshmen admitted for the fall semester has increased by 73%. While we are encouraged by the increased admission volume, the number of students who have chosen to enroll has increased by 46% from Fall 2017 to Fall 2023 . OUA continues to focus its efforts on improving the yield rate among the students who have been successfully recruited and admitted to the university. <strong>[Sustained Commitment]</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">In addition to the approaches already in place (all of which continue), OUA has undertaken and/or enhanced a number of efforts to target outreach efforts in Prince George’s County. For example:</p> <ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Terps on Tour Reception for Admitted Students: Evening reception on campus designed to encourage freshman enrollment for Prince George’s County residents, with primary outreach to students from African American and Latinx communities. In 2024, a financial aid component was added to the programming for the reception by adding a presentation to discuss the FAFSA changes and other financial aid concerns. A strategy for personalized outreach was utilized through phone calls, emails, and coordinated outreach through high school counselors and community based organizations. </p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Enrollment defense efforts: personalized outreach efforts designed to address student questions or rectify any outstanding issues that may be hindering enrollment for county residents, as well as prevent summer “melt” of students who intend to enroll at UMD.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Maryland Ascent Program: in Fall 2023, MAP returned to in-person programming. As part of the programming, staff from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions worked directly with students to develop their college applications, college essays, and resumes to help support student applications. The cohort of MAP Fellows in Fall 2023 (who applied for Fall 2024 admission) was the largest ever cohort from Prince George’s County. </p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">College Access Conference: While not restricted to Prince George’s County, this day-long college application workshop for rising high school seniors, rising juniors, and their families has returned to an in-person format.

The CC has established regular meetings on this topic with Black student leaders and created the Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity Advisory (IDEA) Board with a budget of $10,000 to fund new proposals for programs and resources dedicated towards addressing the career development needs of Black students. There are several existing career programs that can be coordinated with Nyumburu, such as the Working While Black series. We will continue to work on coordinated efforts that will lead to actionable items to enhance engagement with Black students related to career opportunities. Partners for those efforts include MICA, OMSE, IAP, AAP, Nyumburu, Student Success Initiative, Black Honors Caucus, and Center for Minorities in Engineering. <strong>[Sustained Commitment]</strong></p> </div> </umd-modal-content> </umd-modal-layout> </umd-modal> </issues-card> <issues-card data-content="progress-completed"> <div data-card="details"> <div data-issue="header"> <p data-issue-header="index" class="large-san-serif"> <span aria-hidden="true">08</span> <span class="sr-only">Critical Issue #8</span> </p> <h3 data-issue-header="title" class="small-san-serif"> Memorialize 1st Lt.

The campus community was engaged in the design of the five cultural centers and the shared multipurpose space. The DICE (Diversity & Inclusion in Computing Education) Lounge is a community space on the first floor of the Brendan Iribe Center for Computing Science and Engineering for students in computing to meet, study and connect. The Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life officially opened The Agora House, a programming and gathering space for members of the Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council, on September 19, 2022. The<a href="https://today.umd.edu/a-new-space-for-camaraderie-and-bonding"> Dedication Ceremony</a> to celebrate this accomplishment took place on February 18, 2023.
