A brief description of the assessment(s):
The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment organizes major campus survey results by race and ethnicity to help campus decision makers better understand the student experience and inform university planning. Some of these surveys are administered annually and some biannually. Additionally, specific questions about diversity and inclusiveness are asked on our Campus Climate Survey administered to all students every other spring.
AU's major surveys and administration schedule:
Freshmen Survey - each fall to freshmen
Campus Climate Survey - every other spring to all students
Graduation Census - each fall and spring to Undergrad and Grad students completing their degrees (excluding law students)
National Survey of Student Engagement - every other spring to freshmen and seniors
On the last Campus Climate Survey in Spring 2013, undergraduate students agreed that their views and perspective are treated respectfully by instructors (92%) and other students (83%). Eighty-four percent agree that their courses and program presents perspectives sensitive to issues of diversity. Most undergraduate students agree that the AU community demonstrates an interest in other cultures and global issues (97%).
