A brief description of the assessment(s):
In 2006, the University last conducted a confidential employee survey, Perspectives on Diversity, to inform efforts to strengthen and diversify the University’s workforce. This survey asked Princeton staff members to respond to structured as well as open-ended questions about the fairness of employment practices, the openness of Princeton's culture and the extent to which people’s ideas are sought, heard and utilized in decision making. To ensure confidentiality, Princeton University partnered with an outside consulting firm, Workforce Development Group, to administer the survey. Additionally, Princeton University regularly includes questions regarding undergraduate and graduate student diversity and experience of campus climate in multiple surveys conducted on an ongoing basis.
