AD HOC COMMITTEES
The college has committed to a focus on diversity in its teaching practices, and all courses evidence information and activities that engage the culturally- and linguistically-different students that comprise the state’s population. The faculty are aided in this effort by the COE Diversity committee which is responsible for the identification, analysis, and integration of new practices and information to all faculty and candidates in the college.
Diversity is the multiplicity of people, cultures, and ideas that contribute to the richness and quality of life. Diversity includes: race, ethnicity, social class, national origin, language, exceptionality, religion/spirituality, age, sexual orientation and gender/gender identity. Values, philosophies, ideas, and world views that individuals and groups possess are integral parts of this conceptualization. Diversity embodies inclusiveness, mutual respect, and multiple perspectives. This view of diversity encourages the free exchange of ideas, while honoring the maintenance of individual identity and the integrity of culturally centered knowledge.

Overhead Funds Allocation Committee (OFAC) awards are for small-scale seed research, as well as for travel to disseminate research at professional forums. Depending on the availability of funds, each year the committee sends out an RFP to all faculty members to facilitate research activity and travel to disseminate research at professional meetings. All full-time faculty members are eligible and encouraged to apply for these funds. Faculty members who are junior in rank, untenured, and who have published/presented or obtained external funds as a result of prior OFAC-sponsored research are especially encouraged to apply. For details, contact Dr. Zia Hossain at zhossain@unm.edu (277-4162) or any of the committee members.

The Scholarship Committee exists to provide support to students in their studies through means that are equitable, fair, and transparent. Thus the committee makes all policy and procedural decisions regarding awarding scholarships in the college. The committee is the primary source of support to students, the faculty, and to the COE Development Office on scholarship matters.
