        262.81  LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
         The general assembly recognizes that educational programs designed
      to enhance the interrelation and cooperation among cultural, racial,
      and ethnic groups in society require the contribution and active
      participation of all ethnic and racial groups.  The general assembly
      also recognizes that failure to include minority representation at
      the faculty level at the state universities contributes to cultural,
      racial, and ethnic isolation of minority students and does not
      reflect the realities of a multicultural and diverse society.
      Therefore, the "Regents' Minority and Women Educators Enhancement"
      program is established to assist in the recruitment and retention of
      faculty that more adequately represents the diverse cultural, racial,
      and ethnic makeup of society and to improve the education of all
      students.
