How are you doing? No, really, how are you doing? Please, UP community, complete the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) survey on UP’s Campus Climate — look for an email from Dr. Eduardo Contreras with your link (subject line: “Last call to help UP with Campus Climate Survey from February 23rd). You can only take this short, anonymous survey through your individual link from that email.
The HEDS survey asks about your perceptions of diversity, equity and inclusion on UP’s campus and provides campus stakeholders with vital information about how we’re doing on these dimensions compared to other universities. Our university administration and various other bodies at UP may use information from this survey to develop a better understanding of the extent to which our campus climate supports diversity and equity, and to inform and improve support, policies and practices at UP related to diversity and equity, including those to prevent or respond to discrimination and harassment.
UP needs input from across the University, but especially from students right now. Without a broad, representative sample, the results of the HEDS survey may not accurately reflect everyone’s experiences. As such, it is vitally important that you make your voice heard.
The survey is only accepting responses through Sunday, March 6 (the last day of Spring Break). All data is anonymous and helpful in ensuring we make good on our promise to foster a supportive, inclusive community and an accessible campus culture.
We can’t address what we don’t measure. Thank you so much for your help, and have a wonderful Spring Break!
With gratitude,
The Academic Senate Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
