Abstract: This study measured faculty perception of their power to influence the diversity initiative goals. Nine hundred faculty members were sent the questionnaire; 20% responded to the survey with 17% agreeing to the informed consent and completing the questionnaire. Findings indicate that faculty are undecided of whether or not they have the power to influence the diversity initiative suggesting that the hypothesis that faculty are not engaged in promotion of the university's diversity initiative is true.
