In November 2007, Kent State University President Lester A. Lefton announced creation of the Kent State Commission on Inclusion, a broad-based initiative throughout the university to ensure a welcoming learning, work and social environment for people of all cultures, views and beliefs.

The commission, chaired by Senior Pastor of Arlington Church of God Rev. Ronald J. Fowler, is ramping up to set its goals for enhancing diversity and cross-cultural participation and tolerance.
