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:
Humboldt State's longstanding commitment to institutionalizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of work appears throughout campus strategic plans and priorities.
Furthermore, in order to uphold this commitment, and to continue this process of institutional improvement and change, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion was charged with overseeing the collaborative creation of a campus-wide diversity plan in 2013 that provides a mechanism for benchmarking and evaluating success as a campus in meeting stated goals relative to diversity, equity and inclusive student success. Access the complete plan here https://www2.humboldt.edu/diversity/campus-diversity-plan.
The plan is founded on five broad goals that summarize the essence of what HSU aspires to achieve:
Goal #1: Access to Excellence
Ensuring equality of access to an HSU education
Goal #2: Inclusive Excellence
Ensuring equity and diversity in the experience of all HSU students
Goal #3: Faculty & Staff Diversity
Ensuring equity and inclusiveness in the workplace
Goal #4: Community Collaboration
Developing partnerships with the off-campus community
Goal #5: Shared Responsibility & Ongoing Improvement
Monitoring progress towards our goals
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:
Attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors of faculty, staff, administrators, and students is partially measured in Goal 2a: Foster a campus community that is equally welcoming and supportive to all students, faculty, and staff, regardless of background.
Student outcomes, such as graduation/success and retention rates for underrepresented groups, are measured with Goal 2c: Eliminate gaps in retention and in graduation for traditionally underrepresented populations.
Employee outcomes related to diversity and equity, such as pay and retention rates for underrepresented groups, is measured with Goal 3c: Ensure equity in the retention and promotion of faculty, staff, and administrators across underrepresented groups.
Are the results of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment shared with the campus community?:

Results and status of progress are included in most recent iteration of the Campus Diversity Plan. The plan may be downloaded in whole here https://www2.humboldt.edu/diversity/campus-diversity-plan. It has also been uploaded below.
Assessments are also provided via the Office of Diversity website as well as the publication of print documents. Furthermore, the Strategic Planning Process of 2015 entailed assessment of student experiences.
Additionally, large group conversations (300+ people) began in Fall 2016 that involved students, faculty, staff and administrators sharing their concerns and experiences at HSU - most of which revolved around diversity issues. Details of the campus dialogues, as well as transcriptions and action plans are hosted on the Office of Diversity and Inclusion website.
