A strategic recruitment initiative
The ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Diversity Faculty Awards (DDFA) program is a recruitment initiative designed to increase the number of faculty members from historically underrepresented groups. The program was introduced in 2011 in partnership with the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Faculty Association and augmented through collective bargaining. Â
