Has the institution assessed diversity and equity in terms of campus climate?:
Yes

A brief description of the campus climate assessment(s) :

A Subcommittee of the Campus Change Team (CCT) developed, vetted, and piloted two climate surveys based on assessment instruments used by the campus in 2002, 2009, and 2010. The CCT and the Leadership Team reviewed and approved the final surveys. One of the surveys was sent to 1828 UMD faculty and staff members in January 2013. The response rate was 19.4% (355 respondents). The other was sent to 9809 UMD undergraduate students in March 2013. The response rate was 4.0% (393 respondents).

Recognizing the importance of assessing the campus climate using multiple approaches, two Student Focus Group studies (http://www.d.umn.edu/chancellor/climate/surveys.html) and a Campus Labs student survey have been completed since June 2011.
