Has the institution assessed attitudes about diversity and equity on campus in a way that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

A brief description of the assessment(s):

Students, faculty and staff were sent a survey in March 2013 that will bring together information about the climate of diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. For students, Wesleyan used the Diverse Learning Environments (DLE) Survey hosted by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at UCLA. It asks about students’ perceptions of the climate on campus, of academic work, of interaction with faculty and peers, of participation in campus activities, and of the use of campus services. Faculty and staff received a separate survey aimed to better understand perceptions of community, career development, access to resources, and to collect general feedback on the culture of the institution.


Year the assessment was last administered:
2,013

A brief description of how the results of the assessment(s) are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:

The first Campus Climate Survey was completed in Spring 2013. Wesleyan compiled results in August 2013 and will use this feedback to inform next steps in regards to policy, programs, and the Making Excellence Inclusive initiative.
