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:
The basis for our assessment is the university’s strategic plan. As part of this plan, we conducted a Campus Climate Survey in the Spring of 2020, from which we received the results from in the fall of 2020.
We are also preparing for a Resiliency Survey for Fall 2023. The goal is to determine campus need for mental health support. Since underrepresented groups are, in a post-Covid climate, generally in need of more support, this survey is related to DEI.
Does the assessment process address campus climate by engaging stakeholders to assess the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of employees and students, including the experiences of underrepresented groups?:
Does the assessment process address student outcomes related to diversity, equity and success?:
Does the assessment process address employee outcomes related to diversity and equity?:
