Michael J. Tate runs an operation with the kind of resources that many small colleges would envy. He has an annual budget of $3-million and a full-time staff of 55, including two people focused exclusively on communications and a development officer who’s angling to raise $10-million. All this is in a unitÃ? ââ?¬â? the office of the vice president for equity and diversityÃ? ââ?¬â? that didn’t even exist here at Washington State University in the summer of 2004.
