The diversity commissions and council serve the campus under the direction of the Division of Access and Engagement (DAE). The commissions and council exist to ensure that students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented populations have a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive climate on Knoxville’s campus. DAE works in partnership with the commissions and councils to provide additional support and resources to confirm an inclusive culture and climate can be achieved. Together, DAE and the commissions and council work to foster and maintain a climate of equity and inclusion for all Vols.
