New programs established by the Presidential Task Force on Race, Ethnicity, and Community are already making an impact on the UGA campus. Over the last year President Jere W. Morehead committed $1 million in private resources from the UGA Athletic Association to implement 16 initiatives to foster a more welcoming and supportive learning environment for Black and other underrepresented members of our community.
Vice President for Student Affairs Victor Wilson led a 16-member Task Force that collected hundreds of recommendations from across the UGA community. The group completed its work in December and accepted recommendations are now being implemented. These initiatives, listed below, total over $1 million in funds invested or allocated to fulfill the charge of this Task Force.
