The
Rise of the Chief Diversity Officer
"Nearly every university, it seems, is racing to appoint a chief
diversity officer. Although their titles vary, these administrators
often are vice presidents or vice provosts and manage larger budgets
and more people than their predecessors of a decade or two ago, when
the top administrator in this area was often dubbed 'minority-affairs
director.' " (Subscription may be required.)
