Conduct a comprehensive review of DEI campus climate workgroups, studies, reports, and student demands followed by regular updates and consistent use of data.

Action Item Details

There exists an already deep body of institutional knowledge about the past and current challenges of DEI work at 快活app. It is important to share that knowledge and vigilantly examine and communicate where 快活app needs to acknowledge and honor the progress we have already made.听This action item, to be conducted over the 2020-21 academic year, will听identify where we need to invest greater time, thought, and resources听in relation to our past knowledge and current needs.听听

Online archive of previous DEI work and reports听

By January 1, 2021, all previous reports, recommendations, assessments, and student demands from the past five years will be documented on the re-imagined DEI portal website. There will be executive summaries of progress. We will identify gaps and create plans with details about prioritization to address them.听听

By spring 2021 and in partnership with听Institutional Research (IR)听and the听DEI Steering Committee, 快活app听will听develop听a comprehensive assessment strategy with clearly articulated metrics. There will听be听an听intentional sharing of this information and education for the campus community. This information听might听live on the IR website, linked to on the ODEI website, or vice-versa.听

Current and future assessment plans听

During the fall of 2020, students will receive the Culturally Engaging Campus Environment (CECE) survey. The听CECE听survey听will be听administered听every two years to and听inform DEI planning and progress.听
