| Proposal: | On August 7, 2025, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) was renamed Belonging & Community at UMD, and the Vice President’s title was updated accordingly. The University of Maryland Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Statement of Policy (VI-1.00(A)) currently references the Vice President for Diversity & Inclusion. This reference should be updated to reflect the Vice President’s revised title, Vice President of Belonging. The title is a non-substantive change that would not affect the operation, procedure or impact of the policy as otherwise written. |
