- Launch Action-Focused Climate Assessment: The CITSJA noted the need to create processes for data-informed actions that derive from the routine collection of campus climate assessment data. Similar to the periodic external review of academic department reviews to assess strengths, challenges, and needs, we will be hosting Rankin & Associates—an external consulting firm specializing in action-focused climate assessments—to assist UNI in a climate assessment. The University has formed a climate assessment team to facilitate campus engagement in the climate assessment process, guide the development of recommended actions for the UNI community, and advise university leadership on the implementation of the results. More information about the campus engagement process will be coming soon. Members of the committee include:
- Janel Alleyne, Assistant Dean of Students and Co-Chair, CITSJA
