A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
Exit Interviews for Faculty: The Office of Faculty Affairs will implement an exit interview process for faculty who elect to leave CSULB. Departing faculty will have the option of speaking to someone other than a University administrator.
Expanded Exit Interview Process for Staff and Administrators: The current staff and administrator exit interview program, facilitated by Staff Human Resources, will include questions pertaining to campus climate and diversity on campus. Data will be analyzed and shared with University leaders in an effort to identify patterns and address particular concerns.
Mentoring: The Office of Faculty Affairs, in collaboration with the Faculty Center for Professional Development, will expand and further develop a faculty mentoring program for new faculty to facilitate networking and social engagement with the campus community. The mentoring program will provide a plan to include support and guidance for the reappointment, tenure, and promotion process (RTP), one-on-one mentoring, and increased opportunities for social engagement. Faculty representatives of the cultural affinity groups will be identified on the Faculty Center for Professional Development's website. In addition, the Center will provide opportunities for faculty to meet members of the affinity groups in an informal setting. In addition, we offered a Campus Climate survey for employees and students this year via the Campus Climate Committee. The results have not yet been announced.
