Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
Belonging at Yale is the name for activities to enhance diversity and accessibility, support equity, and promote an environment of welcome, inclusion, and respect. Through Belonging at Yale, the university and members of its community strive to create an environment in which diverse teams can work together to solve common issues, where policies are in place to help effectively respond to our shared issues and concerns, and where everyone feels they have a stake in our communal excellence and growth.
To create a better Yale, where all members of the community can tackle the complex issues that challenge us today, President Salovey asked each school and administrative division has developed a five-year action plan to support and enhance diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and belonging. Plans give specific attention to the experiences of staff, faculty, alumni, and students, especially people of color. Schools and administrative divisions developed the plans in an inclusive manner, involving Yale community members from many backgrounds who hold a variety of perspectives and play a wide range of roles at the university.
Planning is coordinated by the Office of the Secretary and Vice President for University Life, in close collaboration with the Office of the Provost, schools, and administrative divisions.

Does the assessment process address student outcomes related to diversity, equity and success?:
Does the assessment process address employee outcomes related to diversity and equity?:
A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
The action plans reflect each school’s or division’s culture and context, based on self-assessments and existing efforts. Plans focus on six areas: scholarship, research, practice, and teaching; the diversity of the Yale community; equitable processes, procedures, and responses; professional and personal development of inclusive practice; acknowledgment, recognition, and respect; and communication, transparency, and accountability. Planning in these shared areas across all schools and administrative divisions will provide opportunities for collaboration, alignment, and the advancement of university-wide priorities.
Are the results of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment shared with the campus community?:
A brief description of how the assessment results are shared with the campus community:
