Our Voices: 2021 Climate Study on Race
In 2020, the university completed and engaged in several different actions set to meet the needs of our community. However, after the murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020 and the intergenerational and multi-ethnic protests it sparked across this country and on our campuses, President Diacon and Vice President Amoaba Gooden charged the campus to understand how our climate is specifically affected by race. This study was internally designed using the 2016 Climate Study as a benchmark for our 2021 study with a narrower focus on race and its intersections.
The Climate Study, “Race: Our Voices Count,” survey was sent to students, faculty and staff at our Northeast Ohio locations in spring 2021.
Disclaimer: This study was conducted during the pandemic where most members of the community were remote. Due to the structure of the survey, disaggregate student data by college, department, or major is not available.
