2021 Campus Culture Survey Coming in October
The Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC), the Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement (ODECE), and the Office of Data Analytics (ODA) will roll out a survey this fall that will enable the university to understand the extent to which students, staff and faculty feel respected, supported and valued at CU Boulder.
The 2021 Campus Culture Survey, which will be administered beginning the week of Oct. 18 through Nov. 21, will also help CU Boulder gain insights into how employee and student experiences differ based on aspects of identity.
All students, staff and faculty will be asked to participate in the campus survey, which focuses on sense of belonging, incivility, and protected-class discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment.
Depending on their campus role, participants will receive questions about their workplace and/or classroom and social cultures. Students will also be asked about their experiences related to sexual misconduct since becoming a CU Boulder student, including sexual assault and exploitation, abuse in a relationship, and stalking.
Survey data will provide a benchmark for the Inclusion, Diversity and Excellence in Academics (IDEA) Plan, CU Boulder’s blueprint for building a more diverse, equitable and inclusive campus community, and support the work of the Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee (ARPAC), which helps identify strengths and weaknesses and provides constructive options for program development and modification.
CU Boulder’s survey is part of underway on all four CU campuses to improve the university's programs and services.
