Led by Dr. Harold Martin, UNC Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and former chancellor of Winston-Salem University, the group will advise Bowles on whether or not a university-wide policy on hate crime should be recommended to the UNC Board of Governors for adoption.
The 11-member Commission, which includes students, staff, and faculty, will also look at diversity orientation for all first-time students.
The group will report back no later than March 31.
