Diversity is of utmost relevance and importance for the University of Massachusetts, Boston (UMB).

In the two decades since, the separate diversity curricula and requirements of particular colleges have been under the aegis of the academic affairs committee of each collegiate unit. CAS (later CLA/CSM) was the only college that created a dedicated diversity subcommittee within its academic affairs committee, and it has been active over these past two decades, reviewing only CLA/CSM courses.
