"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Yes

Percentage of employees assessed, directly or by representative sample:
100

A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:

We administered the NACCC (National Assessment of Collegiate Campus Climates) from the USC Center for Race and Equity. In the spring of 2022, we administered the survey to staff. Question topics included: Key topics include:
>> Perceptions of mattering at institution
>> Level of comfort in engaging in the workplace
>> Personal sense of well-being
>> Feelings of support and respect in the workplace


A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:

The NACCC for students found Black students feel lower degrees of value and mattering from their white professors compared with white students and faculty members of color; students of color feel lower levels of inclusion and belonging on campus compared to white students; most students are reporting learning about race on campus, though white students are more likely to feel uncomfortable discussing race. These findings support our efforts to develop faculty capacity to use inclusive and antiracist pedagogies in their classrooms and new initiatives that facilitate dialogue across difference (e.g., The Campus Living Room Project).
