Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
Yes

A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:

Since 2008, the Office of Human Resources and Institutional Research & Planning have partnered to administer surveys of all faculty and staff about their work environments. Each survey, including the most recent from 2014, is used to compare the responses across the years, which allows the Office of Human Resources to build on strengths and address opportunities for improvement as identified in the reports. Following the release of the overall institutional results, Senior Human Resource Professionals in each of the colleges and vice presidential units attend a workshop to review and discuss the results for their units. Each is given a report that compares their unit’s results to those of similar units in order to determine where to find best practices. Units with poor performance receive coaching from staff in the Office of Human Resources. The results are also used as part of academic program review and in deans’ and other leaders’ reviews.
