Make your voice heard with the UNC System race and equity survey
"Your input is critical to both the UNC System and our campus, and will be used to help us understand what issues are important to you and what changes need to be made to improve our campus culture and climate."
Dear Carolina Community,
The UNC System race and equity survey is intended to provide baseline metrics that will allow UNC System and individual campus leadership teams to address challenges that may exist and to recognize current practices that successfully advance a culture and climate of equity and inclusion. The survey results will assist the UNC System and our campus in identifying tangible steps that can be taken in pursuit of racial equity and understanding.
Faculty, staff and students in the University of North Carolina System are being asked to take part in the research study. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. The questionnaire will ask about your experiences and perceptions at your institution related to racial diversity, equity and inclusion. The questionnaire will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. The survey closes Wednesday, Sept. 30.
We encourage each of you to take the survey because a high response rate ensures an accurate representation of our student, faculty and staff community. Furthermore, your input is critical to both the UNC System and our campus and will be used to help us understand what issues are important to you and what changes need to be made to improve our campus culture and climate.
