UWL Psychology Students Advocate for Diversity and Faculty Retention Improvements
April 5, 2025 - 01:58
A group of students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's psychology department is urging university leadership to take action on pressing systemic issues within the department. Their primary concerns revolve around the lack of diversity among faculty and the retention of faculty members of color. The students argue that these issues not only affect the educational environment but also hinder the overall academic experience for all students.
In addition to diversity concerns, the students have highlighted the limited number of psychology minors available, which they believe restricts opportunities for students interested in the field. They are calling for increased support and resources to enhance the curriculum and faculty engagement. The students emphasize that addressing these issues is crucial for fostering an inclusive and supportive academic community. They are hopeful that their advocacy will lead to meaningful changes that benefit both current and future students within the department.
