KOKOMO, Ind.---The American Council on Education (ACE) has asked Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Ruth J. Person to serve on its Commission on Advancement of Racial and Ethnic Equity. Person will serve a three-year term on the commission, which advises ACE on improving minority participation in higher education. It is also charged with monitoring national policy issues related to campus diversity, and with identifying strategies for increasing minority faculty and administrative staff in colleges and universities. "This is a real honor," Person said. "Others on the commission include presidents and officials from such highly regarded institutions as Princeton University, Spelman College, California State Polytechnic University Pomona, The University of Texas at Austin, and The University of Arizona." With members representing approximately 1,800 accredited, degree-granting colleges, universities, and higher education-related associations, ACE provides a unifying voice on key higher education issues at the federal and state level. It also offers programs aimed at developing leadership in higher education, lifelong learning, and institutional effectiveness.
