Has the institution assessed attitudes about diversity and equity on campus in a way that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the assessment(s):
The College regularly assesses diversity and campus climate, but there is no one survey solely dedicated to the topic. Many of the regularly administered institutional surveys contain items related to diversity and climate. In the past five years the College has administered the following institutional surveys: Senior Survey (2006, 2008, 2010), Alumni Survey (2009), Enrolled Student Survey (2006), PULSE (Perceptions of Undergraduate Life and Student Experience, 2009), CIRP Freshman Survey (2006, 2010), HERI Faculty Survey (2007). The data in these surveys can be disaggregated to reveal trends across ethnicity, race, and gender. Some of the surveys also contain open-ended questions that allow communication of the depth and complexity of student experiences at the College.

A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
Relevant data from these surveys and other sources are reviewed by the President's Advisory Committee on Diversity. A key charge of this committee, as established by President David Oxtoby in 2005, is to monitor Pomona's progress on diversity in empirical terms, so the surveys are a main resource for the committee to draw upon in formulating its recommendations to the president. The Committee's annual reports include a set of data benchmarks that can be used to help frame and direct relevant policy discussions and are available on the Committee's website. Data from the surveys and diversity are also discussed by the WASC Steering Committee that is guiding the College's reaccreditation process with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, as well as by the Board of Trustees in light of Financial Aid policies.
