The Committee on Faculty Diversity was a group of Harvard scientists appointed by Dean Jeremy Knowles in 1999 to encourage recruitement of women onto the Harvard science faculty. The original committee members were Professors co-chairs John Dowling and Cyndy Friend, Howard Georgi, Barbara Grosz and Dudley Herschbach Later members of the committee included Professors Naomi Pierce, Colleen Cavanaugh, Catherine Dulac, Lisa Randall, Steven Wofsy and Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, Edward Kleifgen. The committee withered away during the Summers administration, because so many other forums were addressing these issues.
