A brief description of the assessment(s):
In Fall 2009, McGill University launched the Student Demographic Survey. Invitations to participate were sent to 9,000 randomly selected students.
The web survey was available in English and French and active from mid‐October through late November. The response rate was 23% (2,076 responses). Only students registered in a degree or certificate/diploma seeking program were eligible for the study.
Year the assessment was last administered:
A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
"Our goal must be to make McGill a welcoming environment where all students can feel included in the community. As a first step, we must consult with students who report experiencing discrimination to determine the circumstances that prompt such reports. Then, at the very least, we must raise awareness in our community – among students, academic, administrative and support staff – that there are identifiable groups of students who feel that they are experiencing discrimination. Finally, we must take proactive steps to ensure that all students feel comfortable as members of the McGill community."
