Haverford College
PA-5: Assessing Diversity and Equity

CHAS Campus Climate Survey. In 2009, Haverford administered the Consortium on High Achievement & Success’ Campus Climate Survey. Below is a selection of responses to diversity issues. Results from the Campus Climate Survey were shared with the Dean’s office. The data within the comprehensive report was used to make informed decisions regarding student diversity issues.

1. Haverford has always sought to enroll the most qualified students regardless of their financial circumstances. To that end, the Admission staff admits students without regard to their financial need; an application for financial aid has no bearing on the admission decision for US citizens and eligible non-citizens. Haverford does not offer any financial aid on the basis of academic, musical, athletic, or any other evaluation of merit. Rather, Haverford will meet the full demonstrated need of all admitted students who were judged eligible according to the College's formula and procedures. 2. Track graduation rates by Pell Grant recipients and by ethnicity. 3. Track 4yr, 5yr and 6yr graduation rates by ethnicity 4. Academic and personal support is provided for at-risk students.
