Diversity and Inclusion Master Plan

LGBTQ+: Overall perception of respect, fairness, concern for welfare and belonging were higher for those self-identified as LGTBQ+ than for those not self-identified as LGBTQ+ (M LGBTQ+= 3.3 vs. M Non-LGBTQ+ =2.9, F(1, 123)=4, p<.05).

Perception of higher administration’s and peers’ concern for welfare, respect, and fairness was not associated with gender, age, religion and position.

Work Satisfaction measures 1) employees’ general attitude s towards work, 2) quality of relationship with supervisors, and 3) quality of relationship with Higher Administration.
