The Charge to the Committee

Stanford created the Committee on Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian Communities to focus more intently on the needs and concerns of members of these communities, and to receive recommendations on enhancing their experience at Stanford.

In its charge, the task force was asked to:

• Provide recommendations on how to educate the community on the sources and effects of Islamophobia, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias, and approaches for eliminating these actions and behaviors
• Develop strategies and a plan for fostering dialogue with all involved communities, including Jewish communities, to build a more cohesive campus environment
• Make recommendations on how to improve the experience of Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian members of the Stanford community
