Multiple hires will “definitely” be made to coordinate diversity initiatives at Baylor University, said Lori Baker, chairwoman of the President’s Advisory Council on Diversity.

“We need more than just a chief diversity officer,” Baker said. “So I just want to make sure everybody understands we need more than that.”

The advisory council released a timeline for leading a campuswide discussion about Baylor’s commitment to diversity. In the past two months, the council has reviewed past campus input and university practices and met with leaders from other schools that use diversity initiatives. During the next two months, the advisory council will gather input from around campus and continue its research.

Baker said organizations that encourage diversity already exist at Baylor, but the university doesn’t maintain a source of information about the groups in one place.

“There’s not one link you can go to and get it all, and there’s a lot going on,” she said. “If we can compile, it might make it easier to find people more similar to themselves, or an easier way to connect to people.”
