A Nicholls State University dean will be working to help change diversity and inclusion policies and practices for the University of Louisiana System.
Nicholls Dean of Student Services Dr. Michele Caruso will serve on the 5-member ULS Workplace Inclusion Task Force. That group’s job is to update and strengthen existing workplace policies.
The task force will review existing inclusion and diversity policies, complaints and cases from within the system and its members. From there, they will create recommendations to change existing practices to try and create new, proactive policies.
Other members of the task force will include UCS attorney Winston Decuit Jr., Northwestern State University Human Resources Director Veronica Briscoe, ULS Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Jeannine Kahn and Southern Louisiana University EEO and ADA Compliance Officer Gene Pregeant.
“My goal is to make substantive changes and I’m confident it will happen,” Dr. Caruso said. “As a system, we have an obligation to do everything we possibly can to provide environments where our students can learn to be future leaders.”
