This document serves as an annual report and assessment of UVA's activities and efforts to increase the recruitment and retention of Black students and faculty. In addition to providing an overview of Black student and faculty recruitment and retention at the university, it also includes reports from each school within the university. During the 1983-1984 academic, there were 16 Black students in the BSN program (p.9), the Master's program enrolled three new Black students, whose progress through the program was reported as "excellent," and had received applicants from three Black students for fall 1984 (p. 18). On the faculty side, the SON struggled to recruit Black faculty. At the time, the SON had one Black faculty member. That faculty member "is deeply involved in the recruitment and interviewing process, and works closely with minority student groups." However, although the SON "vigorously recruited minority faculty, it was unsuccessful this year in its effort to add to the one Black full-time faculty member currently employed." (p. 29).
The SON reported on its ongoing recruitment activities, which included "a. an educational exchange program with Howard University; b. regular contact with Black doctoral faculty listed as Minority Nurses by the American Nurses Association; c. personal contact of doctoral faculty who are listed by the American Nurses' Association as Minority Faculty; d. personal recruitment at professional meetings." (pp. 29-30).
