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 University Strategic Planning Committee and the President’s Committee on Equity and Inclusion have developed a campus inclusive excellence plan (“The University Strategic Plan Priority #2: Inclusive Excellence”). The Inclusive Excellence Plan is one of four priorities within the University Strategic Plan. This plan is informed by findings from the Diversity Mapping Project and the Campus Climate Study. The plan has four strategies: 1) Anticipate and respond to the needs of a diverse university community; 2) Support the development and professional growth of a diverse faculty, staff, and administration; 3) Strengthen outreach, recruitment, and retention of diverse faculty, staff, and administrators; and 4) Ensure graduates can engage in ethical reasoning and public action informed by historical, multicultural, global, ecological, and equity perspectives. The plan has been finalized and departmental units are in the process of drafting their respective IE Plans over the 2021-22 academic year. Additionally, all campus units/colleges/departments are developing Inclusive Excellence Plans and the Campus Climate Survey was conducted during the Spring 2022 semester with results currently under analyses.
CSUMB’s Inclusive Excellence Metrics are based upon Eagan, Mayorga, and Ramirez’s (2015) Inclusive Excellence Scorecard. The IE Scorecard, framed within Inclusive Excellence (Williams et al., 2005), is a multidimensional management and measurement tool that works to drive and assess change related to four areas: (1) access and equity, (2) campus climate, (3) diversity in the formal and informal curriculum, and (4) learning and development.
The Campus Climate 2022 Study was developed by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at UCLA and was complemented by focus groups, with protocols developed in partnership with CSUMB.

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
2022 findings are currently under analyses, and we expect to share with campus community in early spring 2023 (the last climate results are publicly posted). Results continue to inform the Diversity Learning Series, inclusive recruitment practices, faculty retention, mandatory training for all students, support for marginalized student populations (e.g. Undocumented students, Black students, etc.), and support for employee affinity groups.
