A university recognizes the intellectual value of diversity and inclusion

One of my hosts for a recent visit to the University of Washington (UW) was Luis Ricardo Fraga, Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement, Russell F. Stark University Professor, Director of the Diversity Research Institute, and Professor of Political Science. With the responsibility for developing strategies and policies with the Provost, Vice Provosts, Deans, and Department Chairs to recruit, promote, and retain faculty at the UW, Fraga was instrumental in guiding a process that other research universities should emulate.
