First University Comprehensive Survey on Anti-Racism & Equity Issues Distributed

The first-ever university-wide climate survey will be foundational to establishing new policies and practices to build a more equitable campus community, survey organizers said.

But as comprehensive and as important as the survey is, it’s only going to be as effective as the number of faculty, staff and students who participate, they add.

“The survey will be foundational for our anti-racism and equity work in the future,” said Kimberly Hewitt, vice president for institutional equity. “This will set the baseline for how we will measure progress on this work.  It’s a significant commitment arising out of the promise of the Juneteenth statement that we would ask these questions of the university community in taking action against systems of racism and inequality on campus.” Learn more here.
