In the spring of 2018, a campus-wide climate survey was disseminated to all CSUCI students, faculty and staff utilizing the climate survey tool from the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) out of the University of California - Los Angeles. Raw data was received in the summer and analysis of the data was conducted throughout the fall semester and into the spring 2019 semester. The final report was sent to the campus on March 1, 2019.

Campus-wide conversations are occurring within each of the Divisions as well as being led by the President’s Advisory Council for Inclusive Excellence to discuss the results of the assessment and identify actions for each division of the campus to take to address any weaknesses revealed in the assessment.

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

The Climate Survey findings were organized in 5 main sections: executive summary; survey background, demographics and limitations; faculty, staff and student comparisons; faculty, staff and administrator comparisons; and CI students and comparison group factors. Focal points of the campus-wide conversations were identified by the President's Advisory Council on Inclusive Excellence, which addressed the following data points: sources of stress - prejudice or acts of bias; perceptions of respect among employees on campus - faculty respect staff; and harassment experience - insensitive remarks experienced by faculty, staff and administrators. In addition, a qualitative analysis of the open-ended question item on the campus climate survey was conducted, which identified 3 broad themes and 10 subthemes. The 3 main themes were: institutional structures and climate; campus roles and work conditions; institutional mission and leadership. The Advisory Council on Inclusive Excellence is gathering data from the campus-wide discussions to inform recommendations for the President with regards to policy and programs - these recommendations are expected in late spring 2020.
