San Francisco State University appointed a new dean to lead the College of Science & Engineering “to create an environment of multiculturalism, inclusiveness and equity,” according to an announcement.
Professor Diane Harris currently teaches in the psychology department. “Her research has focused on the development of eating disorders within communities of color,” according to the university.
The college tasked Harris (pictured) with “institutionalizing an anti-racist multicultural community within the college” and “implementing the goals and objectives of the Strategic Action Plan developed by the CoSE Anti-Racism Task Force and completed in August 2022.”
The College Fix reached out to a campus spokesperson for a copy of the report and for more information on the recommendations. Kent Bravo, the college’s media specialist, did not respond to two emailed requests for comment sent in the past week and a half.
