A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :
As Florida Gulf Coast University has now completed its first decade and looks ahead to its next, it is essential to foster and continually enhance an environment where individual differences are respected and valued for all members of the campus community. To ensure that the campus climate is the best environment for work and study, and is consistent with the University's Mission, Vision and Guiding Principles, FGCU President, Dr. Bradshaw, invited Dr. Damon Williams to lead an assessment of FGCU's climate and culture. Dr. Williams is Vice Provost for Diversity and Campus Climate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, to assist FGCU in campus climate initiatives.

actively recruit and refer traditionally individuals from underrepresented groups
and women for appropriate positions advertised (a list of all recruitment sources
will be maintained and available in the Office of Human Resources);
2. Include the equal opportunity clause in purchase orders, leases and contracts;
3. Notify interested parties, community agencies, community leaders, and colleges
of the University policy;
4. Ensure that all external advertising reflects the university's multi-ethnic and
multi-cultural workforce and student body, and;
5. Work to achieve greater supplier diversity and require suppliers and contractors
to certify the existence of their own equity and diversity policies and practices;
The university will also periodically issue publications that advertise the services and
benefits the university delivers to the Florida Gulf Coast University service region.
