Abstract

Multicultural organizations value diversity and are challenged to take steps to foster pluralism. A study of Ohio Extension administrators using survey instruments and focus group interviews examined perceptions about Extension's response to diversity issues, knowledge of administrators toward diversity issues, and organizational ability to provide equal opportunity to all employees. Outlined are steps leaders have taken since the study to foster diversity within the organization, including the development of a diversity plan with goals and action strategies.
