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:
Every year Colorado State University conducts a comprehensive Campus Climate Survey. The survey is administered to all faculty and staff members one year and the other year it is administered to a representative sample of students with over-sampling for underrepresented groups.
The faculty and staff survey is administered by CSU in the Campus Labs tool and tracks a comprehensive set of issues related to workplace satisfaction, equity, and work life balance as well as diversity and inclusion topics such as discrimination and harassment experiences, accessibility, and training and interactions on campus around diversity and inclusion.
The student survey is administered through Skyfactor (EBI) and addresses important issues such as sexual assault, campus response to bias incidents, campus accessibility, student perceptions and interactions about diversity and inclusion, and student learning on these topics. This is a national survey that gives CSU the ability to benchmark against other institutions.
Results of the survey are widely shared with the campus community, reviewed by campus leadership to set strategic goals and objectives, and posted publicly.
Does the assessment process address campus climate by engaging stakeholders to assess the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of faculty, staff, administrators and students, including the experiences of underrepresented groups?:
Does the assessment process address student outcomes related to diversity, equity and success (e.g. graduation/success and retention rates for underrepresented groups)?:
Does the assessment process address employee outcomes related to diversity and equity (e.g. pay and retention rates for underrepresented groups)?:
A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs and initiatives:
Highlights from the 2014 faculty and staff survey include:
* The majority of respondents self‐report positive responses to employment topics at
CSU, including commitment and satisfaction with their supervisor
* Almost all respondents (95%) indicated they either strongly agreed or agreed with "I feel comfortable interacting with people from diverse backgrounds"
* Two-thirds of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that all employees should participate in diversity training
* Over a fifth of people (22%) reported experiencing one or more incidents related to
discrimination, harassment, or retaliation
Results serve as a baseline for efforts toward continuous quality improvement including strategic planning initiatives at the campus, college, and department level. Results also inform future policy, programs, and initiatives offered by the Vice President for Diversity office, Human Resources, and Office of Equal Opportunity.
Are the results of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment shared with the campus community?:
A brief description of how the assessment results are shared with the campus community:

Survey results for the student campus climate survey are publicly posted on the Vice President for Student Affairs website and presentations are shared with a number of groups on campus to share the results and engage in discussions.
