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:
An anonymous online survey was distributed to all students, faculty, and staff in the Fall of 2019 to collect demographic information. The survey included questions about citizenship, ethnicity, gender identification, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, formal educational level attained by parents, status (internal migrant, refugee, or member of persecuted minority), impressions of the school, and a question about other demographic information that should be collected in the future.
There was also a working group during 2017--2019 which solicited input from students and employees related to cultural climate, diversity, equity and inclusion. These recommendations were discussed by the faculty and reviewed by employees and submitted as part of our Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) accreditation. The ISAS team subsequently visited campus with a focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and made recommendations for follow up. We are now in the process of reconstituting a student-employee-alumni DEI working group.
