Pierre Morton has a goal for his first 90 days as Chief Diversity Officer at Franklin Pierce University, and it’s actually very simple. He wants to listen, hear what others have to say, and create another avenue for change.
To do that, he has three questions to start: What is your definition of equity? What is your understanding of inclusion? What is your understanding of diversity? And he’ll listen to anyone’s answers – students, faculty, community members.
“Because this is not a one-person job; it’s a one-world job,” Morton said.
As a gay Black man, Morton understands firsthand how an individual can be affected by the color of their skin or who they chose to love.
