This survey was designed to help university leaders and campus communities develop baseline understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion by gathering information about faculty, staff, and students’ perceptions, experiences, and perspectives related to these topics. The survey aligns with the goals outlined in MPact 2025, the U of M Systemwide Strategic Plan and the Cambridge Hill Partners (CHP) Systemwide DEI report. The survey results will help inform current and future decisions to support a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community, and serve as a benchmark against which to measure change over time. As stated in our mission, the University “strives to sustain an open exchange of ideas in an environment … that provides an atmosphere of mutual respect, free from racism, sexism, and other forms of prejudice and intolerance.” 5 • Launched on February 7, 2023 and closed on March 8, 2023. • All eligible UMN undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty were invited to participate in the survey. • Web based survey with over 100 data points per respondent. • Staff, students, and faculty received an email with an invitation to complete the survey. • An external vendor, SoundRocket, administered the survey to ensure confidentiality. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The 2023 UMN DEI Campus Climate Survey captures participant demographics, institutional commitment, equitable treatment on and around campus, satisfaction with the overall campus climate, intergroup interactions and discrimination. OUR DEI CAMPUS CLIMATE SURVEY PROCESS WHEN WHAT WHO HOW 6 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DULUTH CAMPUS CLIMATE SURVEY *Data are suppressed in categories where there are fewer than 15 respondents systemwide. Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC) and Gender Reporting We recognize the critical need to disaggregate the data from this survey in order to understand the experiences of diverse communities at the University of Minnesota. The data in the main report reports is disaggregated by race/ethnicity and gender except in places where breakouts of individual race/ ethnicity and gender categories will result in cell sizes that are too small to report. This executive summary presents a collapsed version of race/ethnicity, which is abbreviated in report columns as BIPOC (meaning “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color”). This category is aligned with MPact 25 reporting and will include any participant who identified as African American/Black, Asian American/ Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino/a, Middle Eastern/North African, Native American/Alaskan Native, Other Race/Ethnicity, or More Than One Race/Ethnicity. Gender identity categories are woman, man, and transgender/non-binary.
