DIVERSITY GOALS. The City of Cincinnati and the Union support racial and ethnic diversity and acceptance throughout the City. The Union supports the Cincinnati Fire Department’s efforts to increase racial and ethnic diversity within each fire station. The Cincinnati Fire Department and the Union have undertaken efforts to achieve diversity, such as incentive transfers. The Cincinnati Fire Department and the Union remain committed to ensuring that diversity is promoted, valued, and supported within the Fire Department, as there is a direct relationship between the human composition of these institutions and the attitudes and image regarding the City of Cincinnati. The City of Cincinnati and the Union recognize the intrinsic value and social benefit of racially balanced public service institutions and urges the continued commitment to pursuing this balance whenever possible.
DIVERSITY GOALS. Beginning in the first Academic Year of the IAP and continuing for the Term of the Agreement, the Steering Committee shall establish percentage-based diversity goals for the student body of the IAP based on country of citizenship (the “Diversity Goals”). The Steering Committee may revise the Diversity Goals by majority vote of the Representatives without resort to any tie-breaking provisions contained in this CEA; in the event a majority of the Representatives are unable to agree to a proposed revision of the Diversity Goals without resort to any tie-breaking provisions contained in this CEA, the Diversity Goals shall not be revised.
