The UNT Faculty Senate Committee on the Status of Faculty of Color was formed in order to identify issues of interest to people of color at UNT, gather information on university policies or practices affecting BIPOC faculty, and to keep faculty informed of university, state, or federal laws & regulations regarding civil rights, equal employment, or diversity issues. The committee may submit recommendations for further action to the Faculty Senate. 

The resources collected in this guide may be of use to all UNT community members, but particularly to those who may not be aware of all the services available to meet the particular needs and challenges of people of color at the university.
