Biographical/Historical Note

The Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plan (called Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plan until 1981) was initially compiled by the Committee on Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. In 1987, the Committee on Human Relations was created as a Rhode Island College presidential committee, and the Committee on Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action became a subcommittee of the Committee on Human Relations. The Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plan is now created under the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
