The task force was created in 2015 and focuses on bias and use of force in law enforcement.
It consists of both Penn State and local community members and aims to improve the relationship between police and underrepresented communities.
Penn State President Eric Barron called for the group's expansion this year, as one of the university's initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion.
