Subject: Minority Recruitment Meeting Summary

[This memo is from Carmon Cunningham and Meg Manderson]

Dean Urban and representatives from Sloan faculty, staff, and students met on
February 20th to discuss ways in which Sloan can improve its recruiting
efforts and on-campus support of underrepresented minorities.   The meeting
was well attended and issues were openly discussed by all.  

After a review of Sloans current recruitment and support plans, discussion
focused on ways to improve Sloans efforts in the areas of Awareness,
Affordability, and Support.  A number of excellent ideas were generated for
each area.  After much discussion, the key ideas were recorded and teams were
assembled to develop a set of recommendations and specific action plans for
the school.  The team members are:

AWARENESS TEAM
Jeff Barks, Carmon Cunningham, Mark Springfield

AFFORDABILITY TEAM

SUPPORT TEAM

Each Team is still looking for additional members.   A memo will be sent
