A brief description of the assessment(s):
The Diversity/Multiculturalism/Inclusivity Consortium Student Study is one of the content areas covered in the inaugural year of the NASPA Assessment and Knowledge Consortium. The student assessment covers the following topics: general perceptions of diversity (e.g., whether students feel that their campus is diverse and the factors that contribute to diversity), participation in diversity-related activities, students’ comfort level with diverse populations, and measures of campus climate such as whether students have experienced or witnessed discrimination or harassment.
Year the assessment was last administered:
A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
As this survey was administered only once thus far, we have not been able to use the benchmark to compare against ourselves. The results of the survey were posted online, shared with administrators, staff, and other individuals who expressed interest in reviewing such data. After hearing the results of the survey, a group of sociology students wished to investigate a few of the data points further. They designed a shortened version of the instrument and adjusted the sample so that minority students were over sampled. Their results were compiled and presented as an undergraduate research project.
