February 15-25, 2022: The DLE was open to all undergrad students, who received their own individual link to the survey.
The shift towards becoming an antiracist campus begins with a firm understanding of the current student experience.
The Diverse Learning Environments Survey is an opportunity for all students to share their thoughts about the campus climate. The survey will allow us to better understand the concerns of students with different social identities included race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability/disability status, veterans and more.
- Evaluate the campus climate – DLE is designed to include measures that specifically focus on aspects related to the climate for diversity, including experiences with discrimination, cross-racial interactions, validation and sense of belonging.
- Collect information about institutional practices – The survey focuses on connecting diversity efforts with campus practices, including items related to a curriculum of inclusion, student support services and co-curricular diversity activities.
- Assess baseline strengths, identify areas for improvement, and track progress related to diversity efforts – DLE provides a snapshot of the campus climate, institutional practices, and student outcomes that can be used for campus diversity improvement efforts.
