Campus Culture Survey dashboard updates increase search functionality

The CU Boulder Office of Data Analytics has updated the 2021 Campus Culture Survey unit-level dashboard to increase the functionality of the survey results by campus unit.

With these updates, ODA said dashboard users can filter survey results by a specific school, college, academic program or department, but there are now also 34 compare-by options similar to those in the campuswide dashboard.

Disaggregated results are available by unit, provided there are at least 10 responses for each of the groups in the comparison.

Sustaining our practice of inclusion

Campus efforts and investments to address pressing and painful inequities at CU Boulder are only a beginning. Creating a culture of belonging will take each member of our community practicing sustained personal work to truly embrace and support diverse perspectives and identities in our community.

This year, Chancellor Philip DiStefano and other campus leaders urge every member of our community to join in learning more about diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism and to work continuously together to address these challenges more actively and in ways that can help authentically transform our campus culture in the coming year.
