A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :
Elon University is committed to creating a pluralistic and inclusive environment for every member of the campus community. We seek to cultivate a campus climate that fosters the inclusion and engagement of everyone, regardless of individual differences in order to achieve the highest level of academic excellence.
Elon University’s Office of Institutional Research assists with institutional surveying efforts. The following administered surveys address diversity and equity in several questions. The Freshmen Survey is a national survey administered to first-year students each Fall. Your First College Year is a national survey administered to first-year students each Spring. The National Survey of Student Engagement is a national survey administered to first-year students and seniors each Spring. The Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) Faculty Survey is administered every third year. In addition, the Elon University Center for Race, Ethnicity and Diversity Education regularly seeks feedback from students. For example, they administered a survey focusing on diverse experiences and perceptions of undergraduate students in Spring 2011. Elon's Inclusive Community Council conducted focus groups, administered a student survey in Fall 2011 and a Faculty/Staff survey in Spring 2012 concentrating on the University’s campus climate as related to diversity.
During the 13-14 academic year, a Presidential LGBTQIA Task Force was assembled and charged with making recommendations to improve the broader campus environment for Elon's LGBTQIA members. The Task Force researched best practices, met with various groups on campus and conducted surveys - one for students and one for faculty and staff. A report with recommendations was produced. Action on those recommendations continues.
The President's Task Force on Black Student, Faculty and Staff Experiences was charged with making recommendations to help the Elon University community become a more supportive academic, work and residential environment for African/African American/Black students, faculty and staff. As part of this effort, the Task Force conducted a survey in December 2014. The Task Force submitted a report with recommendations in July 2015. Actions have already been taken on the recommendations and will continue.
