Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
Bates conducted a Title IX survey and a Senior Survey, funded by HHMI, to assess DEI issues on campus via our department for Institutional Research. The survey was distributed to 1,891 Bates students. This number exceeds the college’s reported enrollment numbers because it includes students who were studying abroad or in other offcampus study programs and students who were on leave from the college. There was a total of 838 responses, yielding a response rate of 44%. All responses were anonymous. The survey did not collect any identifying information other than what was provided by the survey respondents.
