other things that we start now
and we are going to have to be
continued for a long time and
there’s still other things that
we learn about and decide there
are better ways to do the things
that we already started doing.
So it’s very much a living and
continuously renewing plan.

Some of the things I’m most

excited about is we’ve got a
number of pipeline programs
up
and
running,
including

Wolverine
Pathways
that

works with students in seventh
through 12th grade and it’s after
school, on the weekend and (in)
summertime and, at the end, if
they do well, and they get into
the University, we promise them
a generous scholarship at the
end. And we’ve launched the
Go Blue Guarantee in January,
which is designed to promise
socioeconomic
diversity
on

campus, and when you get
socioeconomic diversity you also
get geographic diversity and all
different kinds of diversity come
along with that, so those things

are going well. The schools and
colleges are working on their
local plans to work on the climate
locally and in each of our schools
to gauge how well we appreciate
and address issues of difference
between humans. There’s an
inventory work that has been
done — diversity inventory work
has been done in the dorms, so
there’s a lot of activity. Another
big thing that we’ll talk about at
the summit was one of our major
goals of the first year, which
was a campus climate survey.
We’ll be releasing the results in
the coming days. … It asks the
question: How are we doing?
What is it like to be a student,
or a faculty or a staff member
here at the University and it’s
disappointing but not surprising
I guess is that different people
experience this campus very
differently
based
on
where

they’re coming from. So I think
those results are very important
to show us where to focus our
efforts, to establish a baseline we
can use to track whether we are
improving the campus climate.
The end goal is to have each
individual here — no matter

where they come from — have
equal opportunity and a similar
quality of experience, feel like
they’re being equitably treated
and being a full member of this
large and diverse community.
So we’re going to roll out that
and speak during the diversity
summit on what we’re learning
or what we’ve learned from the
climate survey. There will also
be a fantastic keynote address
by perhaps one of the most
famous senior scholars in this
area, a professor from Stanford
named Claude Steele, who came
up with a theory that has lots
of support about something he
calls “stereotype threat.” In
effect, people internalize what
the stereotypes are for their
identity and that internalization
affects their behavior and can
self-perpetuate
that
identity,

sometimes unfairly. So it’ll be a
great talk; I encourage people to
go.

It’s been a lot of effort — we’ve

maintained the engagement and
interest across all the schools
and colleges, a lot of good initial
things are happening and there’s
a long way to go.

TMD: As you mentioned

campus
climate
and
the

fact that different students
have different experiences
here, is there anything else
specifically that you would
say needs further specific
attention as far as the DEI
plan or anything that hasn’t
been up to your standards or
expectations?

Schlissel: I wish that all

the things we’re working on
could go faster. I wish that
we could more quickly get
to an environment where
the quality of everyone’s
experience is quite similar to
everyone else’s experience.
I wish that we wouldn’t be
derailed by these episodic
episodes of racism and other
kinds of hurtful, insulting
messages in our environment.
I wish that our campus
demographic could improve
more quickly — in other words,
get a more representative mix
of students in our society. I
think we’re making progress

Every Wednesday, The
Michigan Daily asks a
University affiliate what the
University’s Bicentennial
means to them.

“I was born and raised in
Michigan, and so I think it’s
really cool that, over the past
200 years, Michigan has stayed
true to its roots and served
the people of the community
while maintaining growth in
all other areas to become a
nationally-recognized institute
for public research, and pushing
the envelope across all sorts of
fields while still maintaining its
connetion to the place it was
founded in. I think that’s really
special, and it’s something really
unique that I’m really proud of
as a native Michigander.”
