Abstract:

In its continuing efforts to improve all aspects of campus life, RIT is striving to become a more racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse university. As part of that process, RIT engaged CGR to conduct an objective baseline assessment of how faculty, staff, and students perceive the current campus environment. CGR completed more than 30 focus groups and received completed surveys from more than 3,000 staff, faculty, and students. The project concluded with presentations of findings and recommendations to the RIT community in the spring of 2003, and the university is currently developing new initiatives in response.
