Has the institution assessed diversity and equity in terms of campus climate?:
Yes

A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :

THE NSSE (National Survey of Student Engagement): Conducted in 2014. Focuses on the nature of first-year and senior students' undergraduate experience. The questions allow institutions to measure how successful they are at engaging students in activities and programs that they provide for students' academic and personal development. Beginning in 2006, all 19 publicly-assisted Ontario universities took part in the NSSE survey as part of their commitment to the Ontario government to improve accountability and focus on the quality of the student's learning experience.

CGPSS (Canadian Graduate Professional Student Survey): Conducted in the winter of 2013 (next one will run again this winter). The Canadian Graduate and Professional Student Survey (CGPSS) is administered to graduate level students in both regular and professional programs. The questions focus on various aspects of the graduate student experience and measure both engagement, as well as satisfaction. Beginning in 2010, all 19 publicly-assisted Ontario universities took part in the CGPSS survey as part of their commitment to the Ontario government to improve accountability and focus on the quality of the student's learning experience.

CUSC (CANADIAN UNDERGRADUATE SURVEY CONSORTIUM): Conducted in the Winter of 2012 and 2015 (but data has not yet been posted for 2015). The Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) surveys measure the level of student satisfaction with various aspects of the university experience. They target specific undergraduate sub-samples based on a three-year cycle, alternating between first year students, all undergraduates, and graduating students.
