CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI Director of Athletics David Harris is one of 30 ADs from 18 different collegiate conferences to sign the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge (CCDP).
The CCDP is an opt-in pledge by Division I athletics directors to include a diverse group of candidates in the finalist pool for head coach vacancies in men's basketball, women's basketball and football.
A "diverse pool" is defined as a group of finalists that includes at least one candidate from a diverse or traditionally underrepresented background.
The CCDP reflects a commitment to ensure equal opportunity in the hiring of coaches, and to address the barriers that have prevented full participation of underrepresented minority groups.
