In June 2018 Chancellor May invited twenty-nine distinguished scholars, administrators, community members, and students to serve on a task force to help UC Davis define what success should mean for a research intensive, public land-grant, Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in California. The Task Force is charged with examining and making recommendations to continue to improve the success and well-being of all our students, including our Latinx and Chicanx students, and to identify the resources and reforms necessary to achieve these goals.
The Task Force was asked to discuss and assess what we are doing well and what can be improved in the ways we educate and facilitate the success of our students. In turn, this process should also help us define the metrics by which we can measure our success as one of only ten research intensive, public land-grant HSIs in the United States.
Chancellor May has asked for recommendations by February 2, 2019.

The Task Force began its work in July 2018.
