A brief description of the assessment(s):
Santa Clara University has conducted several studies related to campus climate for students, some of which were completed as part of the Educational Effectiveness Review (EER) for re-accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). An analysis of 2007 NSSE data comparing students of color with white students on selected questions has been compiled and compared with previous years. The University is participating in a study focusing on minority student engagement which will allow us to compare our students against benchmark institutions. We have also examined freshman and senior survey data on attitudes toward race/ethnicity.
A study of campus climate involving the faculty was initiated in 2007 as preparation for the Educational Effectiveness Review. The study involved focus groups with forty randomly selected full-time faculty and separate interviews with a group of faculty of color.
