Alternate Title

University of Michigan Campuswide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Climate Assessment

Summary

This data collection contains the results of a sample survey of University of Michigan (U-M), Ann Arbor, faculty, staff, and students meant to represent the full diversity of the community and to capture information and perceptions on demographics, climate, institutional commitment and inclusive and equitable treatment, departmental norms, intergroup interactions, and discrimination. With input from committees of students, faculty, and staff, the survey instrument was developed collaboratively by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M's Survey Research Center, and administered by SoundRocket, an external social science survey research company. The instrument was delivered as a web survey, and several notifications and reminders were used to encourage completion, as well as an incentive. These notifications and reminders were delivered in phases.

Variables in the collection describe age, gender and gender identity, race/ethnicity, school/department/unit, religious affiliation, disability status, campus safety, rating of campus climate, intergroup interaction, discriminatory events, composite rating scores, and more.

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study was to serve as a baseline for understanding the present campus climate at the University of Michigan, to help inform current and future planning, and as a benchmark against which to measure change over time.

Sample

Phase 1

  • Faculty: Stratified random sample (n=1,500) using the University's race/ethnicity variable, with oversamples of Black, Hispanic, and Native American faculty members. The final counts used for analysis included 1,026 faculty.

  • Students: Stratified random sample (n=3,500) with the same race/ethnicity stratification as used for faculty sample and oversamples of Black, Hispanic, and Native American students. The final counts used for analysis included 1,800 students.

Phase 2

  • Sample of remaining, active cases, including all those who had visited the web survey in Phase 1 but did not complete it.
