Rachel Cahn, Associated Student Government's secretary for diversity affairs, said that that the Diversity Affairs Council has plans of their own.
"We wanted the council to learn more about campus and be able to go back to their individual organizations and tell them what's really going on," Cahn said.
Una Hrnjak, the secretary for diversity affairs for the 2008-09 academic year, hopes that she can take the council to new heights.
"I would like DAC to work with the admissions office to develop effective ways to recruit more people," Hrnjak said. "I would like to see less over programming between the two groups, DAC and ASG, and I'd like to form more legislation to enhance diversity."
Above all else, Taylor stressed the importance of the work the Diversity Affairs Council has accomplished and plans to accomplish in the future.
"We want Miami to be more welcome for all members," Taylor said. "We want them to feel that they belong to the university and that the university belongs to them."
