Renewing our Commitment to Diversity, Equity &
Inclusion
Background
In 2004, 2008, and 2015, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point conducted university-wide surveys in order to assess the diversity climate
on our campus. "Campus climate" is defined as the
campus environment as it relates to interpersonal, academic, and professional
interactions. Responses from previous UWSP
climate surveys have led to increased funding for diversity and
inclusion initiatives, including:
The results of the current survey (link above or click here) provides important
information about the campus diversity climate and will help inform University
efforts to ensure that the environment is conducive to working and learning for
all members of our campus community.
2015 Survey Details
Two surveys were created for the UWSP campus, one
for employees and one for students. Each took about 20-30 minutes to
complete and were completely confidential. The chancellor granted up
to 30 minutes of release time for employees to take
the survey, with the request that staff work with their supervisors for
office/work coverage if necessary.
