Yes

A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:

The offices of Student Academic Life and Institutional Research administer an annual student climate survey and a faculty/staff climate survey that assesses campus climate, including diversity and inclusion efforts. DePauw participates in the national HEDS (Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium) Diversity and Equity Campus Climate survey. Student Life then reviews and enhances these assessments annually and communicates the results of these assessments across campus.

Yes

Does the assessment process address student outcomes related to diversity, equity and success?:
Yes

Does the assessment process address employee outcomes related to diversity and equity?:
Yes

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

Our Diversity and Equity team findings are available here:
https://www.depauw.edu/files/resources/dec_report_2017-18_final.pdf

The results of the committee meetings and their surveys and findings are shared periodically via e-mail with all faculty and staff, as well as at faculty meetings.

The reports show that students, faculty, and staff who hold marginalized identities (people of color, women, LGBTQIA+, etc) have an experience on campus that is impacted negatively based on those marginalized identities.


Are the results of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment shared with the campus community?:
Yes

A brief description of how the assessment results are shared with the campus community:

The results are shared with student government and with key stakeholders, including campus leaders and faculty/staff who work to support students who hold marginalized identities.
