UC (and UCLA) Campus Climate Survey

After a series of racial incidents on various campuses (including UCLA), UCOP and the Regents hired a consultant, Susan Rankin of Penn State, to do a "campus climate survey."  She has done such survey work at other universities in different parts of the U.S. in recent years. This is an expensive endeavor.  I have been told informally that the cost is something like half a million dollars.  The survey instrument draft proposal is quite lengthy and there have been concerns about participation rates for faculty, staff, and students.  Participation will be voluntary and anonymous.  Each campus will have a survey.

Yesterday, at a session at the Faculty Center, Prof. Rankin first presented some information on her past survey work and then went on to discuss the upcoming UC survey.  Below are links to the audio for the UC portion of the presentation. A complete video (not just audio) is or will be available for viewing at the media center.  If you want the complete audio (not just the audio portion in the two links on the upcoming UC and UCLA study), go to the third link below.
