Has the institution assessed attitudes about diversity and equity on campus in a way that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the assessment(s):
The University of Maryland has a group called the Campus Assessment Working Group (CAWG) in which one of the subjects it reports is on diversity. This assessment centers on student awareness of diversity, inclusiveness on campus, and focus on tolerance. There are also plans in place to develop a survey to measure the effects of diversity and inclusion and an online Climate Assessment Survey is planned as well that will survey graduate students on an annual basis concerning the impact of their diversity-related educational and co-curricular experiences, as well as their perceptions on campus climate. With oversight from the CDO, town meetings plan to be held to evaluate progress in achieving equity and diversity goals and make recommendations to the President as well.
