A brief description of the assessment(s):
In October, the University contracted with Dr. Susan Rankin from Penn State University and Rankin Consulting, Inc., to assist us in conducting a campus climate survey. Dr. Rankin has experience with campus climate surveys in over 90 colleges and universities across the country, including Millersville University within the PA State System of Higher Education.
Since 1987, the University has assessed climate in a number of different ways. For the year of our current self–study for reaccreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, it was determined that a comprehensive campus climate assessment would assist the self–study and inform a new strategic plan. The survey will be completed by students, faculty, staff, and administration (none of our previous assessment efforts have included the entire campus in this way). Dr. Rankin’s approach is based on the Transformational Tapestry Model of campus climate, which provides a framework to view and assess campus culture and develop integrated interventions for implementation to maximize equity.
