Are the new faculty members themselves expected to be from under-represented ethnic and racial groups?
Not necessarily; the focus is on the research specialty of the researcher. Q: Are we looking for individuals who have had a big impact on diversity through leadership or for those whose major contributions have been in the diversity research domain. A: The candidate should have a strong diversity research base. It will be an even stronger case if the individual has had a proven track record and has had impact in his/her field as well.
