Your experiences matter and we want to hear about them. The week of October 18, you will receive an email asking you to participate in the Campus Climate Survey. This is a secure, anonymous survey. We welcome your honest responses in the hopes of creating a more inclusive campus where all members of our community feel respected, supported, and valued.

Campus Culture Survey

  • The Campus Culture Survey will close on November 21, 2021.

Survey Results

Results from this survey will be used to better understand our existing campus culture and to identify both strengths and areas of concern in order to make recommendations for creating and sustaining a just, equitable, and inclusive culture at CU Boulder.

  • This work will direct CU Boulder’s efforts to create more equitable and inclusive environments for all students and employees—specifically, environments that attract more diverse and talented people to join our community and that increase student and employee retention. This survey is also intended to benefit the wider community by providing the data needed to take steps to improve the classroom and workplace cultures on our campus and to measure our progress going forward. 

Reporting Experiences of Protected-Class Harassment or Discrimination

The information you disclose in this survey will not initiate a formal process of investigation into situations involving protected-class discrimination or harassment, as it does not constitute an official report to the university. 

  • The university is committed to providing an inclusive environment where all individuals can achieve their academic and professional aspirations free from discrimination and harassment based upon protected-class identities. Identities that are covered by CU policy are race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, political affiliation, and political philosophy. 

  • To formally report an incident of protected-class discrimination or harassment, please call the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) at 303-492-2127; email cureport@colorado.edu; or use the online reporting form. If you are reporting about something that happened directly to you, there is the option to report anonymously using the online reporting form. However, responsible employees reporting for someone else may not report anonymously. 

    • Anonymous reports related to concerns about campus academic, research, or business integrity or environmental health and safety can be submitted at the CU Boulder EthicsPoint website

Obtaining Confidential Support

  • The Ombuds Office assists all members of the CU Boulder campus to informally and impartially resolve complaints or disputes with other individuals, offices, or departments within the university.
  • The Office of Victim Assistance (OVA) is a confidential resource available for members of the CU Boulder community who have had disruptive or traumatic experiences related to sexual misconduct, discrimination, or harassment.
  • The Faculty & Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) offers counseling and programs for university faculty and staff. All FSAP staff are trained as generalist counselors and are equipped to deal with a wide range of personal and work-related issues.
