HERI Diversity Climate Survey Available Now
Western is partnering with the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at UCLA to conduct diversity climate surveys of our staff, faculty and students. A link to the Staff Climate Survey was sent by the Higher Education Research Institute to staff email inboxes on April 4, and a second email was sent on April 10 to staff who have not yet completed the survey. Please check your Clutter folder in Outlook if you have not received emails from HERI in your inbox.
This anonymous survey is an important opportunity for staff to share their perspectives on Western’s diversity climate in a coordinated way that can inform decisions made by Western leadership.
Supervisors are encouraged to share the following information about the staff survey with employees who do not use computers at work. For employees without regular access to a computer who wish to participate in the survey, computer terminals will be available as follows.
