Uniti-Group MissionUniti-Group Mission

The Uniti-Group mission is to determine the need of diversity within the faculty and find solutions and/or strategies in the hiring process for

faculty members. We will analyze the faculty and the student make up and determine the need of diversity. We will interview faculty, social groups, & the student body to determine their

views about a diverse faculty make-up.

Issues & ProblemsIssues & Problems The Uniti-Group issue is the lack of diversity

among the faculty at the Minneapolis Community & Technical College. The student population at MCTC is continually growing.

The student body at MCTC is diverse and it is imperative that the faculty resemble the

student body. The college environment is not set up for the students that are currently

being served. The MCTC administration must consider a cultural radical structural change that includes the student body in order to educate successfully the entire student

population.
