Deliverable 1: Create a comprehensive climate survey, gathering both qualitative and quantitative data, with branches for different categories of students, staff, and faculty. This deliverable will consist of the following tasks: Develop a survey of no more than thirty (30) questions covering perceptions of DEIBA, feelings of inclusion and belonging, barriers and opportunities to participation, confidence in leadership, and perceptions of the community. The survey should branch into question sets tailored to students (undergraduate and graduate); staff (management and non‐management); and faculty (tenure‐track and nontenure‐track), including areas of concern for each group and perceptions between groups. The survey should include no more than three open‐ended questions at the conclusion to gather additional qualitative information. Demographics and specific unit/departmental data should be included to allow for assessment of climate within and comparison between units. The survey should be informed by input by key offices, including but not limited to EID, OIE, and OPR. Deliverable 2: Administer the survey to the campus population. This will include the following tasks: Develop a marketing campaign for the entire campus community to maximize participation in the campus climate survey. Work with units across campus, including the Dean of Students’ Office, Provost’s Office, President’s Office, EID, and Marketing and Communications, to roll out the marketing campaign to all parts of the campus community. Administer the campus climate survey in an electronic format, giving participants at least ten and no less than twenty business days to respond, at a time in the semester after midterms but before finals and the Thanksgiving holiday. Deliverable 3: Analyze and present the data to campus leadership. Analyze the qualitative and quantitative data from the survey responses. From this analysis, prepare a report on the campus climate for NMSU leadership. The report should take care to preserve confidentiality of all participants, especially when referring to responses to open‐ended questions.
