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: http://oregonstate.edu/oei/self-study-report. In response to these findings, OSU launched the first annual Campus Climate Survey in early calendar year 2014. In January and February 2014 the survey was open. Findings and more information are available here: http://oregonstate.edu/oei/climate-assessment
During April and May 2015, Oregon State University piloted and distributed the Campus Inclusivity Survey. Students (undergraduate, international, graduate) as well as representatives from various academic departments, the graduate school, and several student affairs departments worked together to create a survey to assess inclusivity on campus. 4,000 OSU students selected at random were invited to participate in the pilot Campus Inclusivity Survey. Survey findings and more information are available here: http://oregonstate.edu/studentaffairs/campusinclusivitysurvey
