A brief description of the assessment(s):

The SJSU Office of Institutional Research conducts a Campus Climate Survey and the intent is to assess sense of community and respect for diversity among all members of the campus. The survey is administered to students, faculty and staff. The survey administered to students assesses student perceptions of the campus climate, the degree of sensitivity on campus regarding racial/ethnic, gender, disability and other issues, the experiences of diversity issues within the classroom and larger learning environment, and awareness of procedures to report discriminatory behaviors. The anonymous survey also collects detailed demographic information. The survey for faculty/staff contains questions dealing with racial/ethnic relations, the apparent fairness of professors and staff, and opinions regarding SJSUs diversity policies.


Year the assessment was last administered:
2,010

A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

After the Campus Climate survey was administered focus groups were creating to get further input from students and staff. The results of both the survey and focus groups are currently being discussed with the SJSU President to determine the best way they can be incorporated into the SJSU campus.
