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

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

In 2009 we contacted an external consulting group to conduct a “Diversity and Inclusion Climate Assessment.” The assessment was based on the surveys of 581 constituents, including 389 students, 52 faculty, 87 staff, and 41 alumni.

In 2012-13 the college went though a process of diversity assessment to apply for the Greater Cedar Valley Alliance and Chamber Diversity and Inclusion award. The process helped us identify both our strengths and the gaps we need to address. The college received the award. http://info.wartburg.edu/Wartburg-College-News/ArticleID/622/Wartburg-wins-Cedar-Valley-award-for-diversity-and-inclusion.aspx
