The University Life Survey assesses the living/working/learning environment at Iowa State University. The survey is administered by the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost. The overall goal of the University Life Survey is to improve the quality of university life for everyone at Iowa State University.
Respondents are asked specific questions about the recruitment of students, faculty and staff as well as university-wide efforts to support a positive learning and working environment. All respondents are asked to prioritize sub goals, with one of the options being to expand/nurture diversity. Respondents were also asked to indicate their level of agreement with the following statements:
Iowa State University Increases the Diversity of People, Ideas, and Cultures
