Title A name given to the resource The Road to Diversity Subject The topic of the resource Evolving from the Diversity Contraversy Description An account of the resource In the early 1970's, GMU was called out for having almost no diversity and no real affirmative action efforts. A 1971 report pointed out the problem, pushing the school to take action. Mason created the Office of Minority Recruitment and brought in its first African American admissions officer in 1974 to help recruit more diverse students. These were the first real steps toward making Mason the diverse university it is today. The image shows the first African American admissions officer, Andrew Evans (left).
