Student Climate Survey Summary of Findings

The results of the Student Climate Survey indicate that the overall climate at the College is overwhelmingly positive. The summary of the findings are presented below:

1.

Perception of exclusionary behavior

Perceived exclusionary behavior amongst students at the College is very low. The majority of students at the College (94%) deny having personally experienced exclusionary behavior, while 90% percent of students also deny having observed exclusionary behavior. • Students who identified as Jewish and Atheists reported higher percentages of perceived exclusionary behavior, 14.3% and 33% respectively. The sample size of these groups, however, is too small to draw any definitive conclusions. • In terms of race/ethnicity, 5.6% of White students compared to 22% URM, 14.3% Two or More races, and 0% Asian reported having experienced exclusionary behavior. However, the sample sizes for URMs and Two or More races are too small to draw any definitive conclusions. • Students comments on reasons for perceived exclusionary behavior revolved around 1) classes being “cliquey”, and 2) comments made by fellow students about Jewish students having special accommodations for holidays. • Reports of perceived and observed exclusionary behaviors did not appear to be influenced by gender, age, or LGBTQ+. 2.
