Chico State President Paul Zingg at 2015 fall convocation.

Chico State President Paul Zingg issued a statement Monday emphasizing the school’s need to walk the walk when it comes to diversity.

His statement comes in light of the recent race- and racism-related resignations at the University of Missouri. 

He said that the Chico State campus “as a whole has not yet embraced diversity as a core value.” To address this, the University Diversity Council is developing an update to the University Strategic Plan to more actively and explicitly promote diversity.
