ABOUT CRD

MIT is committed to creating and maintaining a culturally and racially diverse environment, but this diversity is hollow unless the individuals that comprise MIT can communicate with each other. The Committee on Race and Diversity's job is to make sure communication happens, demonstrating MIT's high-level recognition that numerical diversity is necessary, but not sufficient, for a vital campus.

The Committee is appointed by MIT's President and was created in 1994 by Charles M. Vest. Its members come from all parts of the MIT community—students, faculty, and staff.

This web site describes CRD's public programs as well as other campus resources on race and culture. We have also posted some voices from the MIT community—students, faculty, and staff thinking and talking about race and culture at MIT.
