College-wide Diversity Climate Survey

In the fall of 2007, the College of Design, Art & Performance' Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) and the Diversity Advisory Workgroup (DAW) held a meeting to consider how to address retention and diversity issues regarding under represented faculty and staff. A representative from the University's office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (DEO) also attended this meeting to ensure diversity policies were being upheld by both groups. At this meeting, members of both the FAC and DAW decided to expand the DAW membership to include representation from the FAC. The DAW is now comprised of faculty and staff from all units in the college; it incorporates the elected membership of the FAC, the appointed membership of the original DAW, and the expressed interest of additional faculty and staff who participate in the expanded DAW group.

In the discussions of a means to identify and understand the questions of retention for the college, it was suggested that the college conduct a diversity climate survey. The Group worked with DEO to develop two survey instruments for the task. One survey instrument was administered to Faculty and the other administered to Staff. Both surveys were administered in April and May of 2008 with responses sent by the individual faculty and staff to the DEO office for summarization. Once the DEO office had summarized the data, members of the DAW developed the attached report drawn from these summaries. Response rates to the survey were: 53% response from staff 31/58 and 40% from faculty 53/131.
