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:
The aims of this project are manifold, yet chief among them are the following:
Collect data on the experiences, opportunities, and perspectives of various campus constituents in relation to diverse marginalized positionalities they may bear (i.e. race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, religion and spirituality, class/socioeconomic status, political opinion, and citizenship status).
Gather insights on the culture of understanding, acceptance, and celebration of difference at Clark University, especially concerning areas for growth and improvement.
Survey hitherto un-assessed or under-assessed demographics and topics, in order to resolve gaps in institutional understanding of various issues.
To gain an understanding of the institution’s and community’s strengths in diversity, inclusion, and equity, and to recognize ways of maintaining this momentum in growth and progress.
To benchmark institutional data and compare Clark’s policies, strategic initiatives, and outcomes to those of peer institutions, in order to gauge Clark’s position in the landscape of diversity and inclusion in higher education.
These goals contribute to shaping the university’s vision for the Clark community, as well as the strategies, policies, programs, and dialogues that the university will employ as we seek to realize this aspiration.
