The Diversity Initiative's staff relations sub-committee's major focus is to assist OHRP in conceptualizing cutting-edge, diversity-related programs for staff in temporary, part-time, and full-time capacities, in contract and permanent state-funded positions, in non-exempt and exempt contexts, in the trades, shops, facilities, and service areas, in administrative and technical support functions, in professional and administrative roles, in Administrative, Academic, and Student Affairs arenas, and across dimensions of difference.
