UAB Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion completes a qualitative and quantitative assessment annually as detailed in their strategic plan. The quantitative values from the assessment are displayed on the dashboard: https://www.uab.edu/dei/about/diversity-dashboard

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs and initiatives:
The assessments drive programming and initiatives of ODEI. The gaps in equity observed from the assessment are used to develop new programming, staffing, and funding. For example, we know we need a mentoring program at the institutional level for staff. Staff often lack the mentoring and collegiality opportunities given to students and faculty.

Yes
A brief description of how the assessment results are shared with the campus community:
