Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
Yes

A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:

During the 2016-2017 academic year, we underwent a compensation and classification study that included an equity analysis for faculty and staff. This study was collaboratively led by Butler Human Resources and the Office of the Provost, with assistance from national consulting firm Conduent Human Resource Services. The purpose of the study was to ensure position titles and descriptions accurately reflected responsibilities and salary ranges are internally equitable and competitive within employment markets. In addition, the institution wanted to develop:

1. A compensation architecture and supporting processes and policies that are adequately positioned to meet the University’s hiring and retention needs
2. A salary structure for non-faculty positions that is streamlined to reinforce our organization-wide vision and is designed to ensure internal equity
3. Pay for faculty and staff that is competitive in the markets where Butler competes for talent
Job descriptions that are complete and up-to-date
4. Pay equity—internally and externally—that is supported by quantitative market analysis and rigorous benchmarking
