Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
Our current campus-wide structured assessment focuses on recruitment, retention, and financial support of underrepresented populations. We have ceased with campus wide "climate" surveys as our VP of DEIS takes a philosophical approach to management and assessment driven at the unit level via individualized metrics and timelines, and does not believe that institution-wide assessment is necessary or useful at this point. As of May 2023, approximately 70% of all campus units have completed or are in the final stages of completing their assessments and plans. A link to the unit-level plans is here: https://www.mtu.edu/diversity/strategic-plan/unit-plans/ There is a toolkit available for all departments and the VP-DEIS office is highly active in helping the planning process.
Does the assessment process address campus climate by engaging stakeholders to assess the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of employees and students, including the experiences of underrepresented groups?:
Does the assessment process address student outcomes related to diversity, equity and success?:
Does the assessment process address employee outcomes related to diversity and equity?:
A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
as noted above, this is done on a unit-level.
Are the results of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment shared with the campus community?:
A brief description of how the assessment results are shared with the campus community:
units decide on if and how they share the results beyond their community, but all units have an internal communications strategy as a part of their plan.
Are the results (or a summary of the results) of the most recent structured diversity and equity assessment publicly posted?:
