Diversity committee

BREAKDOWN OF DIVERSITY COMMITTEE

The Daily Orange Board of Directors, which consists of D.O. alumni and current and former D.O. staffers, formed the diversity committee in 2020 as a permanent committee on the board. Each semester, the committee conducts a staff demographic survey and tracks the diversity of the paper’s content before compiling the findings in a diversity report and publishing it after the semester ends. The committee will share each diversity report with the editorial staff and board and will publish a diversity report at least once each academic year.

Committee membership

The editor-in-chief and managing editor serve as co-chairs of the diversity committee. All voting student members and at least one alumni member of The D.O.’s Board of Directors are required to be on the committee. The spring 2021 staff and management team contributed to the report by gathering and compiling data on the diversity of The D.O.’s content. The spring 2021 management team also conducted a demographic survey of the spring 2021 staff for this report. All D.O. contributors and editors are also welcome to join the committee and provide recommendations for improvement.
