In partnership with the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) is currently (Spring 2015) administering the Diverse Learning Environments Survey (DLE), a student climate assessment.

A brief description of the employee diversity and employment equity assessment(s):

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) employs the Equity Scorecard Project, an initiative adapted from research from the Center for Urban Education at USC, to evaluate the state of equity among staff members at the institution. Using institutional data dissaggregated by race, ethnicity, and gender, the project examines inequities in representation across cabinet-level units and among various levels of leadership. The project involves an evidence team of 12 staff members who provide strategic direction regarding the strategic and communication processes. Currently, a state of equity report is being compiled by ODI and will be presented to the campus community during the upcoming academic year. The project will culminate with an action planning phase, which will inform the next phase of the Strategic Plan to Foster Diversity and Inclusion.
