WKU names first chief diversity officer

Ensuring that Western Kentucky University values diversity, Richard Miller has been appointed to a new position, according to WKU President Gary Ransdell.

Ransdell appointed Miller, associate vice president of Academic Affairs-Faculty Personnel and Academic Policy, to Chief Diversity Officer - a new position for the university.

“I am combining the two committees that have existed up until now into one Diversity Enhancement Committee, which Miller will chair,” Ransdell said.

Ransdell said Miller's position as CDO is permanent. Miller will report directly to Ransdell in matters relating to diversity, while still reporting to Provost Barbara Burch about matters relating to the faculty in general.

Miller will also begin serving on the administrative council on July 1, Ransdell said.
