Union University

On September 20, 2016, Union announced that a strategic plan was formed for “establishing an ongoing advisory council for the initiative, establishing a campus location for the Center for Reconciliation and for the Minority Student Resource Center, increasing the ethnic diversity of the student body, increasing the ethnic diversity of the faculty and staff, providing support for faculty and staff to enhance intercultural competence and racial reconciliation efforts, and supporting and expanding culturally diverse learning opportunities.” This "racial reconciliation" effort was done in collaboration with Land College after a grant from the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion.

The university states that, "Union’s conceptual framework provides an understanding of the process that students must utilize to integrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for a commitment to diversity. Sensitivity, reflection, and faith form a paradigm which reflects the Union School of Education’s commitment to learning for all students."

The university formed a strategic plan, known as the Great Commandment Collaborative on Racial Reconciliation, which is supported by the Center for Racial Reconciliation, the Center for Intercultural Engagement, and the Center for Just and Caring Communities. One goal of this plan is to "provide ongoing Diversity Training for Faculty/Staff Development to improve Intercultural Competency and enhance Racial Reconciliation efforts."
