The University of Michigan is constantly striving to create the most diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for our students, faculty and staff, and in our engagement with alumni and community partners, locally and globally. The University of Michigan continuously gathers and reports the most recent data as it relates to our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. A hallmark and priority in U-M’s DEI efforts is a commitment to values-driven, evidence-informed decisions and actions. Sharing and making available data to our community also reflects our commitment to transparency and accountability.

Climate Survey Reports
The Campus-wide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Climate Assessment (ICPSR 37096) is a dataset from 2016 that features survey results from the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus. This data includes a sample set of responses from faculty, students, and staff. It aims to represent the diverse community of the university and gathers insights on topics such as demographics, institutional atmosphere, the university’s dedication to inclusivity, treatment fairness, departmental standards, interactions between different groups, and experiences of discrimination. As part of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Strategic Plan, Campus-wide Climate Surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2021. These surveys used specific sampling techniques to ensure representation from both the overall Ann Arbor campus and each of its 50 individual units.

DEI Progress and Evaluation Reports
The Evaluation and Assessment of the University’s progress is guided by two fundamental principles: inclusion and transparency. Together, these facilitate our pursuit of the higher-order principle of accountability in DEI action, which in turn will enable the institutionalization of DEI action, programs and processes into the infrastructure of the University. Throughout U-M’s DEI journey, our progress and community engagement have been consistently documented as part of our ongoing commitment to accountability and transparency.
