One step is the university’s development of a set of courses addressing diversity that students will be required to take beginning in the 2008-2009 academic year.
Even as the number of females and minorities have increased at other universities, American Indians, Blacks, Asians and Hispanics make up less than 18 percent of the non-international student body and about 10 percent of the non-international faculty at OSU, according to 2006 university figures.
In addition to reviewing the diversity study, a new health care provider for system employees was chosen and officials announced a $20 million life insurance gift from two Houston alumni to benefit the College of Education and the Spears School of Business.
The regents also heard an update on recovery efforts at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami, weeks after major flooding deluged the campus. Officials estimated the damage to be between $10 million and $12 million.
