The survey contained both quantitative and qualitative questions to assess diversity and inclusion at Colorado College. Survey results were used in construction of the College's strategic plan and in the planning and execution of diversity and equity programming by the Butler Center.

The college's commitment to diversity and equity extends throughout the community to all levels of leadership and governance. On the Board of Trustees, 10 out of 33 members are women and 4 out of 33 members are people of color. The college is committed to diversifying the board even more in the coming years.

More specifically, 2 of the top 3 senior positions are held by women and 2 of the top 3 senior positions are held by people of color. Additionally, 35% of the the extended leadership team (people who report directly to members of Cabinet) are persons of color.
