Charge to the Committee on Intercultural and Global Understanding
函数
The Committee on Intercultural and Global Understanding (CIGU) is a subcommittee of the Institutional Policy and Planning Committee (IPPC专用) that advises the 总统 and other College officials and bodies as appropriate regarding issues related to 跨文化和全球理解.
In taking this work, CIGU will take into account a comprehensive institutional view and, in particular, will be guided by Goal II of the College's 战略计划，其中说:
We will challenge every Skidmore student to develop the intercultural understanding and global awareness necessary to thrive in the complex and increasingly interconnected 21世纪的世界.
More specifically, CIGU will advise on policy issues, practices, and procedures relating to diversity, 跨文化和全球理解, intercultural literacy, issues of campus climate, and other related matters.
The CIGU also will serve as a resource for the College officials charged with coordinating and implementing the College's strategic efforts in these areas, namely the Director of Intercultural Studies, the Director of the Office of 学生多元化计划, and the Assistant Director for EEO and Workforce 多样性.
CIGU will ensure that any College-wide policy matters related to its charge are referred 提交国际植物保护公约审议. CIGU, however, may introduce appropriate campus initiatives on its own accord, creating working groups or involving other offices as appropriate. CIGU shall report to the 总统 regularly (at least once each semester) and may invite the 总统 to attend meetings as appropriate.
Because of the significant overlap in membership of CIGU and the 偏见反应组, the College's 偏见反应组 will function as a subcommittee of CIGU. 会员 of the 偏见反应组 and methods of appointment are set forth in the 偏差响应协议. The 总统, in consultation with the chair of CIGU, will continue to appoint 偏见应对小组协调员. CIGU will then be responsible for overseeing the work of the 偏见反应组 and recommending changes as appropriate to the 总统.
