The initiative included student and faculty recruitment, multicultural enrichment, support services, and articulation with other educational institutions and businesses. Objectives of the MEI were to increase the quantity of minority students by 9.5% and minority faculty by 8% over a period of 3 years. A task force was created to assist the college in its minority student outreach plans. Accomplishments and special projects developed by the task force are listed, including the following: a mentor program; diversity fellowship luncheons; the endowment of a scholarship; a Hispanic student outreach program; a Hispanic Heritage Month dinner; a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.; a citywide minority awards ceremony; a presentation by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Teen Steering Committee and a UNCF drive; an urban league salute to Black scholars; a Minority Leaders Fellowship; and the selection of a student for the Academy of Women Achievers Mentor Program. The original goal to increase the quantity of minority students was achieved for all ethnic categories within 2 years. The second goal, to increase the minority faculty, was achieved in each minority category except Asian-American. Other efforts which support the MEI include technological advancement in academic services, a computer-assisted instruction tutorial system, a distance learning program, captioned video programming, a library cooperative online network, and a college preparation program targeting minority high school students.
