Committee Structure: 

Lead by SJSU's Chief Diversity Officer, a tenured faculty member and a staff member, CCDEI members will serve a two-year term. Committee members are appointed to one or two year terms so that there can be a staggering of appointment terms to support continuity and institutional memory in the work of the committee.

The committee will form subcommittees, which will have formal liaisons from the CCDEI. Subcommittee members may be nominated from outside of the CCDEI. The CCDEI will invite subcommittee members based on expertise, content knowledge and ability to work collaboratively in teams on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion.
