RIT has made aggressive moves to increase faculty diversity raising the bar for schools nationwide. In fact, NY State is calling this initiative the "RIT Model." RIT understands that it takes commitment from leadership on down, dedication, and leadership operating in a reasoned way to improve our diversity goals. For the past five hiring seasons, 30 percent of RIT's new faculty hires have been from underrepresented minority groups.
