A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :
In 2012, a self-study team reviewed literature, considered best/promising practices nation-wide, and engaged in discussions with over 400 members of the university community to determine what is working well and where there are areas for improvement in campus diversity culture. One of the findings was that the university needs to develop a longitudinal university-wide climate assessment program that includes regular collection of data and the implementation of strategies to address the findings. The full report is available online, link below.
In response to these findings, OSU launched the first annual Campus Climate Survey in early calendar year 2014.
