Following a national search, the vice president for institute diversity (VPID) will have oversight for all diversity-related matters at Georgia Tech, report directly to the president, and serve as a member of the president’s cabinet. Catherine Murray-Rust, dean and director of libraries at Georgia Tech, will serve as chair of the committee. Other members include:
- Marguerite Brown

"The rich history of Georgia Tech and the city of Atlanta make this an attractive opportunity for the right individual," Murray-Rust said. "The faculty, staff and students who comprise this committee welcome our role in advancing Tech’s reputation as a leader in diversity."
A national search firm will be hired to assist in the recruiting of potential candidates. The committee will hold its first meeting in the coming weeks, receive a formal charge from the president, and finalize the position description. Nominations, recommendations, and comments may be directed to Dean Murray-Rust.
