Climate Reports
Reports were provided to Michigan Ross for Faculty (tenured and tenure-, research- and clinical- track faculty), Special Faculty (lecturers and post-doctoral fellows), Staff, and Students (undergraduate and graduate levels) in Spring 2022. Reports include comparison data for unit level and campus level responses.
What’s Going Well:
In Fall 2021, the U-M Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) worked with a third-party vendor, SoundRocket, to administer a confidential, campuswide climate survey at the conclusion of UM’s initial five-year DEI Strategic Plan.
