A brief description of the student diversity and educational equity assessment(s):
Beloit College has its seniors and freshman participate in the Cooperative Institution Research Program's "Your First College Year" survey, while seniors take the CIRP "College Senior Survey." These surveys were last administered in the spring of 2015.
Both of these surveys ask similar questions which can be compared longitudinally across graduation classes for changes in perspectives. Questions asked in both surveys try to uncover perceptions of self-value, "fitting in," and ask questions about students' level of respect for diverse beliefs.
Results conclude that around 75% of students surveyed are at least satisfied if not very satisfied with the level of respect for the expression of diverse beliefs. An additional 20% were neutral, leaving only 5% dissatisfied.
Also, about 85% of students saw themselves as part of Beloit's campus community.
These results and more from the survey instrument are being used during the current academic year to pursue college-wide goals and initiatives around persistence and inclusivity.
