PROGRAM: JOHN SANDERSON introduced Alysa Christmas Rollock, J.D. Vice
President for Human Relations at Purdue University, who gave a report on the
Executive Report of the 2006-07 Diversity Assessment at Purdue. The purpose
of the survey for this assessment was fourfold: help assess the progress of
diversity goals of the 2001-06 Strategic Plan; give views of staff, faculty, and
students with their perceptions of Purdue's diversity policies, programs,
initiatives, and commitment to diversity; help units better understand and address
successes, challenges, and needs; and provide information for future strategic
planning. In the key findings approximately 24%of staff, 37% of faculty and 40%
of students reported experiences of being recently harassed or discriminated
against mainly on the basis of gender, race/ethnicity, or age basically on Purdue
Campus. These groups rated Purdue's diversity climate overall between
average and good, with ratings falling below average for African American/black
staff, faculty, and students. To view the report online:
