A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
In 2017, Mount Royal University worked with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI) to survey employees about demographic background and perceptions of inclusion on campus. These results were shared at ULG and other groups on campus.
Mount Royal has also added custom questions to the Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) surveys for students asking to what extent they agree with the statement "MRU is a respectful and inclusive place for someone like me". This had been in surveys since Winter 2016.
In 2015, the Office of Diversity and Human Rights Services reached out to employees and students on behalf of the Diversity and Meaningful Inclusion Working Group to get feedback regarding Access, Climate, Learning, and Capacity.
