PAE-7: Measuring Campus Diversity Culture

There are two surveys that satisfy the intent of this credit, the Report on the Quality of Life of Stanford Faculty and the Senior Exit Survey. REPORT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF STANFORD FACULTY: (https://facultydevelopment.stanford.edu/main/reports-publications) This report summarizes the results from a survey of the Stanford University faculty that was conducted by the Panel on Faculty Equity and Quality of Life in November 2008. The survey included questions about satisfaction with being a faculty member, perceptions of workplace climate and reasonableness of workload, and satisfaction with life beyond work. SENIOR EXIT SURVEY Stanford sends out an exit survey to all graduating seniors every other year. Items in the survey specifically address diversity issues, including assessing student satisfaction with the level of diversity on campus, student participation in racial/cultural awareness programs, and the extent to which students have interacted with those of different backgrounds from themselves while at Stanford.

REPORT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF STANFORD FACULTY: (https://facultydevelopment.stanford.edu/main/reports-publications) The university used feedback generated from the assessment as inputs in university planning processes. Examples of policies/programs developed or strengthened using assessment feedback include: Faculty Women’s Forum, childcare policies, family leave policies and back-up (sick child) childcare program. SENIOR EXIT SURVEY This assessment is used to ensure Stanford is meeting its diversity goals and that its various diversity programs, including campus community centers and themed housing for specific ethnic groups, are meeting the needs of the student body. Because the survey is given on a regular basis, Stanford can compare the data going back many years to see if it is improving over time, and to judge whether programmatic changes or improvements are needed.
